Fusion ofthe occiput to the upper cervical spine is an uncommon but important operation as it is the only means ofpermanently stabilising the interveningjoints. Instability ofthe atlas or axis on the remainder of the cervical spine is dangerous, and if it progresses to subluxation or dislocation there is a risk of damage to the medulla, spinal cord and nerve roots. Fusion may be required for pr...
متن کاملAtlanto-axial rotatory fixation and fracture of the clavicle. An association and a classification.
Five children with atlanto-axial rotatory fixation (AARF) in association with fractures of the clavicle are described. It is postulated that the rotary fixation is a direct result of the trauma which produces the fracture. The importance of early diagnosis is stressed, since delayed diagnosis may lead to chronic deformity. Early diagnosis depends on awareness of the possibility of AARF, and eit...

This approach may be used for congenital atlanto-axial dislocation, fracture dislocation, vertebrobasilar aneurysms, basilar invagination, compressive rheumatoid pannus and tumours of the craniovertebr...
متن کاملBrook’s Wiring for Treatment of an Atlanto-Axial Dislocation and Odontoid Fracture in a Child
Cervical spine injuries are rarely seen in children with an overall incidence of about 1-1.5% [1,2]. In pediatric cervical spine injury, the upper cervical spine is the most common site affected (52% of cases) [2]. The typical injury mechanisms for pediatric cervical spine injuries are hyper flexion movements as in motor vehicle accidents, because of distinct anatomic properties of a child’s bo...

DIAGNOSTIC STANDARDS There is insufficient evidence to support diagnostic standards. GUIDELINES There is insufficient evidence to support diagnostic guidelines. OPTIONS A lateral cervical x-ray is recommended for the diagnosis of atlanto-occipital dislocation. If a radiological method for measurement is used, the basion-axial interval-basion-dental interval method is recommended. The pre...
