Anterior Screw Fixation of Anteriorly Displaced Type III Odontoid Fracture Corrected by Transoral Digital Manipulation
نویسنده
چکیده
Type III odontoid fractures have been treated by several methods. In case of anteriorly displaced type III odontoid fracture which is not corrected by closed reduction, anterior screw fixation cannot be used. We report the first case of anterior screw fixation of anteriorly displaced type III odontoid fracture corrected by transoral digital manipulation.

Direct transoral reduction of anteriorly displaced type II odontoid fracture during anterior odontoid screw fixation: Review of literature
BACKGROUND The anteriorly displaced type II odontoid fracture is treated either conservatively by halo-vest brace immobilization or surgically by posterior atlantoaxial fusion. Anterior odontoid screw fixation is not advised for this pattern of odontoid fracture because of the difficult trajectory for screw insertion despite its advantage of salvaging the upper cervical spine rotatory range of ...

Introduction Odontoid fractures occur commonly in a bimodal age distribution. In younger patients the injury is associated with high energy trauma; however fractures in the elderly population are associated with low energy trauma such as falls. Above the age of 70 years, fractures of the odontoid peg are the most common cervical spine injury, with the majority being type II by the Anderson and ...

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...
