Odontoid Fractures Treated by Anterior Odontoid Screw Fixation
Spine, 1991While odontoid fractures are common injuries, disagreement exists regarding treatment. Some authors claim a high rate of pseudoarthrosis and have therefore recommended early posterior fixation and fusion. This, however, results in decreased cervical rotation.

Management of odontoid fractures with percutaneous anterior odontoid screw fixation [PDF]
European Spine Journal, 2007 Minimally invasive techniques have revolutionized the management of a variety of spinal disorders. The authors of this study describe a new instrument and a percutaneous technique for anterior odontoid screw fixation, and evaluate its safety and efficacy in the treatment of patients with odontoid fractures.

Odontoid Fractures in the Elderly
Journal of Spinal Disorders, 1993A review of 35 patients > 60 years of age with odontoid fractures showed that a type II injury (Anderson and D'Alonso) was the most common fracture pattern (82% of cases). On the basis of mechanism of injury and sex incidence, we deduced that osteopenia is a contributory factor in the occurrence of odontoid fractures.

Osteoblastoma of the Odontoid Process
Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2008A case of an osteoblastoma located in the odontoid process in a 7 year-old boy who presented with torticollis is reported. CT scan and MRI disclosed the lesion, but diagnosis was established by a CT-guided needle biopsy. Surgery through a transoral approach allowed total excision of the tumor.

Anterior odontoid screw fixation allows for the internal fixation of unstable odontoid fractures with low morbidity, good fusion rates, and preservation of the atlanto-axial range of motion when applied in appropriate clinical cases. Advances in surgical techniques have allowed for safer, more minimally invasive approaches that reduce the risk of ...

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, 2009
AbstractOdontoid hypoplasia is a developmental abnormality, which is often asymptomatic. However significant sequelae can occur in some individuals, particularly after head or neck trauma. This anomaly is not generally known to be familial. We report on four affected individuals in the same family with odontoid hypoplasia, suggesting autosomal dominant

The British Journal of Radiology, 1983
From a randomised series of 500 adult patients, average measurements of the normal adult odontoid peg in the vertical and sagittal planes as seen on a standard lateral film of the cervical spine are given, and it is suggested that measurements which fall below this range should be interpreted as indicating "odontoid hypoplasia" irrespective of the ...

.m ed kn ow An 18-year-old girl working as a lifeguard in a swimming pool presented with a fall on the slippery wet floor of the pool, landing on her right shoulder and back of her head. She had pins and needles in the fingertips of the right upper limb. She did not have any neurological deficits. Computed topographic scan (CT) of cervical spine showed

Acute Odontoid Fractures: Anterior Odontoid Fixation
Operative Techniques in Orthopaedics, 2007Fractures of the dens are common injuries. The classification of these fractures remains controversial. Anterior odontoid fixation is a safe and effective means of stabilizing some of these injuries. We review classification of these injuries, treatment options, and surgical indications. Anterior odontoid fixation is reviewed in further detail, with an

Odontoid compression of the brainstem without basilar impression – “ odontoid invagination”
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2005We report five patients with odontoid invagination, in which the odontoid process bulges upward into the foramen magnum and compresses the brainstem without deformity of the occipital bone. Two patients had a craniovertebral abnormality associated with Chiari malformation without instability of the craniovertebral junction (stable odontoid invagination)
