Fractures of the odontoid in children with an open basilar synchondrosis.
Fractures of the odontoid in children with an open basilar synchondrosis differ from those which occur in older children and adults. We have reviewed the morphology of these fractures and present a classification system for them. There were four distinct patterns of fracture (types IA to IC and type II) which were distinguished by the site of the fracture, the degree of displacement and the pre...
متن کامل[Anterior osteosynthesis of odontoid fractures].
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The conservative treatment of an odontoid fracture with immobilization in a halo-vest or collar often results in pseudoarthrosis. Therefore, surgical treatment is preferred, and the Magerl-Böhler anterior osteosynthesis of the C2 dens is one of the options for achieving good bony union. The aim of this study was to show that the success of reducing an odontoid fracture is r...
متن کاملCurrent Management of Odontoid Fractures
The C1-2 complex allows far more motion than any other single level in the cervical spine. This motion is predominantly rotational, since translational motion at C1C2 is limited by the strong transverse ligament. This restriction is lost after fracture of the odontoid and may be associated with anteroor retrolisthesis of the C1-C2 complex in relation to the C2 body. This may result in spinal co...
متن کاملOdontoid Synchondrosis Fracture Treated by C1-2 Polyaxial Screw-Rod Fixation
The synchondrosis between the dens and the body of axis normally fuses between 5 and 7 years of age. Until this age, synchondrosis fractures can occur in children. Most synchondrosis fractures are conventionally treated by external immobilization alone. We report a 10-year-old child with odontoid synchondrosis fracture who was treated by C1 lateral mass and C2 pars screw rod fixation with a suc...
متن کاملTraumatic odontoid process synchondrosis fracture with atlantoaxial instability in a calf: clinical presentation and imaging findings
A 6-week-old female Simmental calf was evaluated for acute non-ambulatory tetraparesis. Physical and laboratory examinations revealed no clinically relevant abnormalities. Neurological findings were consistent with acute, progressive and painful cervical myelopathy. Radiographs displayed a fractured odontoid process (dens axis) and vertebral step misalignment at the fracture site. A traumatic o...
