Atlantoaxial fixation: overview of all techniques.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over the past century, steady advances have been made in fixating an unstable atlantoaxial complex. Current options for fixation of the atlantoaxial complex include posterior clamps, posterior wiring techniques, C1-C2 transarticular screw fixation, posterior C1 lateral mass screw with C2 pars or pedicle screw fixation, and anterior transoral C1 lateral mass to C2 vertebral body fixation.

متن کامل“Direct vision” operation of posterior atlantoaxial transpedicular screw fixation for unstable atlantoaxial fractures
BACKGROUND The posterior screw fixation in atlas via posterior arch and lateral mass, also called C1 "pedicle" screw, combined with C2 pedicle screw fixiation has shown better biomechanical stability in unstable atlantoaxial fractures. However, its popularization has to fulfill the limitation imposed by anatomical characteristics. The aim of this study was to explore the manipulation, effect, a...
متن کاملC2–3 Fusion, C3–4 Cord Compression and C1–2 Posterior Facetal Instability: An Evaluation of Treatment Strategy Based on Four Surgically Treated Cases
STUDY DESIGN Four patients had C2-3 vertebral fusion and radiologically demonstrated cord compression at C3-4 level related to disc bulge with or without association of osteophytes and C1-2 posterior facetal dislocation. The outcome of treatment by atlantoaxial and subaxial facetal fixation is discussed. PURPOSE The article evaluates the significance of atlantoaxial facetal instability in cas...
متن کاملAtlantoaxial Fixation—Anterior or Posterior Approach: Critical Review
Atlantoaxial facet joints have been proposed as the center of mobility and also center for instability of the atlantoaxial region. Because of the high mobility of the atlantoaxial (C1-C2) motion segment, fusion rates at this level have been substantially lower than those at the subaxial spine. The success of craniovertebral junction surgery depends on adequate reduction, decompression of cranio...
متن کاملBiomechanical evaluation of three ventral fixation methods for canine atlantoaxial instability: a cadaveric study
We evaluated comparatively the mechanical strength in three kinds of surgical fixation techniques for canine atlantoaxial joint. Atlantoaxial plate fixation (APF), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) fixation (PMF) and transarticular fixation (TAF) were applied to the atlas and axis harvested from healthy beagle dogs, and then, the specimens were tested. The PMF group had significantly higher resista...
