Endoscopic-Assisted Posterior Atlantoaxial Fusion: Technical Innovation and Clinical Experience. [PDF]
Endoscopic‐assisted posterior atlantoaxial lateral mass fusion is introduced as a novel minimally invasive technique for treating atlantoaxial instability. The approach enables direct visualization, precise fixation, and effective bone fusion while minimizing muscle dissection, blood loss, and postoperative pain, achieving rapid neurological and ...

High Spinal Cord Injury After a Minor Fall in a 23-Month-Old Girl With Atlantoaxial Instability Associated With Morquio Type A: A Case Report. [PDF]
Case A 23‐month‐old girl with Morquio A syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis IVA [MPS IVA]) scheduled for atlantoaxial stabilization surgery sustained a cervical spinal cord injury with tetraplegic symptoms following a low‐energy fall. Computed tomography (CT) images showed forward translation of C1 over C2 and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed ...
