Endoscope-Assisted Anterior Odontoid Screw Fixation for Odontoid Fracture

World Neurosurgery
Odontoid 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 ...

Odontoid remodeling with occipital condyle stabilization in patients with metastatic C2 involvement

Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine
The 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 ...

Trends in management of odontoid fractures 2010–2021

North American Spine Society Journal
Background Context: Odontoid fractures are relatively common. However, the literature is unclear how these fractures are best managed in many scenarios. As such, care is varied and poorly characterized.

Odontoid compression of the brainstem without basilar impression – “ odontoid invagination”

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2005
We 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)

Odontoid Fractures Treated by Anterior Odontoid Screw Fixation

Spine, 1991
While 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.
