Treatment of type II odontoid fracture with a novel technique
Surgical methods for type II odontoid fracture can be classified into 2 main groups: anterior or posterior approach. A more effective way to achieve bone fusion with the lowest possible surgical risk is needed. Therefore, the aim of our study was to describe and evaluate a novel technique, cable-dragged reduction/cantilever beam internal fixation for the treatment of type II odontoid fracture.T...
متن کاملOdontoid process pathologic fracture in spinal tuberculosis.
Craniovertebral junction tuberculosis is a rare lesion in which treatment remains controversial. Options range from conservative treatment to surgery, independently of any associated neurological threat. We here report the first case of pathologic odontoid fracture in a context of spinal tuberculosis, complicated by unusual neurological evolution. The patient presented with non-contiguous multi...
متن کاملT8 spinal cord transection in a 6-year-old child
STUDY DESIGN Case report. OBJECTIVE To describe a case of spinal cord transection in a 6-year-old child. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Non-missile injury of the spinal cord is not common and its incidence varies according to the country. In addition, to our knowledge, there are no published reports of spinal cord injury (SCI) from a penetrating nail. Here, we report the case of a child who deve...
متن کاملSpinal cord transection in a child after non-penetrating trauma.
A three-year-old male child presented after sustaining a fall from a second story window onto a fence below. The long axis of the child’s vertebral column was oriented perpendicular to the length of the fence, causing the majority of the forces to be directed to the spinous processes of T3-4. Initial neurological examination demonstrated complete loss of motor and sensory function below the T4 ...
متن کاملSpinal cord transection in the larval zebrafish.
Mammals fail in sensory and motor recovery following spinal cord injury due to lack of axonal regrowth below the level of injury as well as an inability to reinitiate spinal neurogenesis. However, some anamniotes including the zebrafish Danio rerio exhibit both sensory and functional recovery even after complete transection of the spinal cord. The adult zebrafish is an established model organis...
