Bilateral C1-C2 claw for atlantoaxial instability. [PDF]
Turkish neurosurgery, 2009 Atlantoaxial stability can be achieved by laminar hook systems via posterior approach. This technique is much more safer than using screws. We presented our experience with the C1-C2 claw procedure.Seven patients with atlantoaxial instability were operated by using C1 and C2 hooks, rods and transverse connector at Neurosurgery Clinic of Istanbul ...
