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 ...
