Role of Posterior Interfacetal Distraction and Grafting in Complex Atlantoaxial Dislocation
Egyptian Spine Journal, 2019 Background Data: Atlantoaxial fixation, unlike subaxial spine, is still challenging due to complex topographical anatomy. Nowadays, atlas lateral mass screws and transpedicular axis screws fixation is a well-accepted technique for the management of ...

C2 Superior Facetal Osteotomy: A Novel Technique in Complex Craniovertebral Junction Surgery for C1 Lateral Mass Screw Placement [PDF]
Asian Spine Journal, 2023 Complex craniovertebral junction (CVJ) defects account for a considerable proportion of CVJ diseases. Given the heavily assimilated C1, an unfavorable C1–C2 joint orientation, an overriding C2 superior facet, a low-hanging occiput, and an abnormal ...

Anterior fixation of atlantoaxial joints: Technique and pitfalls
Journal of Spinal Surgery, 2014 Both the atlantoaxial joints can be exposed adequately by an unilateral extrapharyngeal approach from the right side. The atlantoaxial dislocation can be reduced, joints can be decorticated and bone graft can be introduced into the joint.

Radiofrequency treatment of cervicogenic headache [PDF]
, 2013 Objectives: In the clinical management of facial pain, a possible cervical origin must be considered. A clinical exploration is therefore essential. The disorder originates in the intimate connections between the cranial portion of the spinal cord and ...
