Proposal of a new method for treating type II odontoid fractures: Odontoid process prosthetic (Ti)
, 2008 A novel method for treating type II odontoid fractures is presented. The use of a sintered titanium odontoid prosthetic could eliminate long healing times associated with external fixation methods, and the neurological deficits associated with non-union ...

Endoscope-Assisted Anterior Odontoid Screw Fixation for Odontoid Fracture
World NeurosurgeryOdontoid fractures in older adults often lead to substantial morbidity and mortality. This study explores the outcomes of water-based endoscope-assisted anterior odontoid screw (AOS) fixation, a minimally invasive technique, in managing these fractures.Six patients (5 men, 1 woman) underwent endoscope-assisted AOS fixation for displaced odontoid ...

Anterior Screw Fixation of Posteriorly Displaced Type II Odontoid Fractures
, 1989 Posteriorly displaced Type II odontoid fractures (Type II-P) are difficult to stabilize in an anatomic position with accepted methods of posterior atlantoaxial arthrodesis. Nine patients with Type II-P odontoid fractures with 4 to 15 mm displacement were

Retro-Odontoid Pseudotumor in a Patient with Atlanto-Occipital Assimilation [PDF]
, 2018 A retro-odontoid pseudotumor is an uncommon non-neoplastic mass. They are mostly associated with rheumatoid arthritis and atlanto-axial subluxation. The pathogenesis is degeneration of the transverse ligament due to chronic mechanical stress.

Odontoid remodeling with occipital condyle stabilization in patients with metastatic C2 involvement
Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and SpineThe occipitocervical junction (OCJ) is a complex anatomical region crucial for protecting the lower brain stem, upper spinal cord, and lower cranial nerves. Instability in this area can lead to severe outcomes such as chronic pain, neurological deficits,

Introduction to odontoid fractures: controversies in the management of odontoid fractures [PDF]
Neurosurgical Focus, 2000 Although odontoid fractures were first classified more than 25 years ago, 5 the management of these fractures remains controversial. Whereas the nonoperative management with external immobilization devices often leads to successful healing, certain fracture features and patient ...
