Management of Odontoid Cervical Fracture
World Neurosurgery, 2019Fractures of the cervical odontoid process are the most common fractures of the cervical tract, accounting for one third of all cervical spine fractures. They are more frequent in elderly patients, and with the aging of the world population, their incidence and clinical and social relevance are expected to increase in the near future.

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.

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 ...
