Osteomyelitis of the Odontoid Process
Journal of Spinal Disorders, 1988Pyogenic osteomyelitis of the odontoid process is a rare condition requiring a high index of suspicion for diagnosis. The three cases presented illustrate that patients with severe neck pain, aggravated by rotation, and persistent fever without apparent source should be studied carefully to exclude infection of the C1-C2 area.

Pathomechanisms of Failures of the Odontoid
Spine, 2000A finite element investigation to determine the causal mechanisms that lead to odontoid fracture.To elucidate which loading scenarios, including rotational moments, compression-tension, and lateral and anteroposterior shear, can result in Type I, Type II, and Type III odontoid failures.There is considerable controversy about the major loading path that

Agenesis of the Odontoid Process
Radiology, 1956Failure of ossification of the odontoid process of the second cervical vertebra is a rare developmental anomaly which may be asymptomatic for many years. As a result of more thorough roentgenologic examinations, the condition has been noted with increasing frequency since its original description by Roberts in 1933 (1).

FRACTURE OF THE ODONTOID PROCESS
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1976A review of 26 cases of odontoid fractures has been carried out. Late diagnosis and consequent delay in treatment were found to be important causes of non‐union. Myelopathy in odontoid fractures is of two types. One type is that present immediately after injury, while the other is delayed.

Management of odontoid fractures
Neurosurgery, 1982Fifty-one adults with odontoid fractures were treated between 1966 and 1979. Approximately 50% had additional trauma; over half of the patients were younger than 40 years old. Three patients presented with myelopathy: 1 was complete at C-2 and the others recovered. Cervical roentgenograms were initially considered normal in 4 patients. The fracture was

Odontoid fractures remain the most common C2 fracture and of those individuals older than 65 years. The type of optimal management remains in question given comorbidities, risk of nonunion, and limitations in mobility when surgical fusion is the treatment selected.

Odontoid Fracture Biomechanics
Spine, 2014In vitro biomechanical study.To investigate mechanisms of odontoid fracture.Odontoid fractures in younger adults occur most often due to high-energy trauma including motor vehicle crashes and in older adults due to fall from standing height.Horizontally aligned head impacts into a padded barrier were simulated using a human upper cervical spine ...
