Abstract Objectives Global population aging is leading to a greater retention of natural teeth into later life and an increasing prevalence of dental implant therapy. Although advanced age has traditionally been regarded as a risk factor for compromised outcomes, population level evidence remains lacking.

Background: Anterior odontoid screw fixation for the treatment of type II odontoid fractures, in contrast to posterior C1–2 fusion, allows for maintenance of cervical rotatory motion at C1–2. The approach requires an accessible C2–3 disc space from which

Endoscopic‐Assisted Posterior Atlantoaxial Fusion: Technical Innovation and Clinical Experience
Endoscopic‐assisted posterior atlantoaxial lateral mass fusion is introduced as a novel minimally invasive technique for treating atlantoaxial instability. The approach enables direct visualization, precise fixation, and effective bone fusion while minimizing muscle dissection, blood loss, and postoperative pain, achieving rapid neurological and ...

Odontoid synchondrosis fractures in children [PDF]
Object Odontoid synchondrosis fractures, although rare in the overall incidence of spinal trauma, are one of the more common fractures in young children. The goal of this study was to evaluate the demographic data, incidence of neurological deficits, treatment strategies, and outcomes in a combined series of ...

Teriparatide in Two Patients With Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IVB
ABSTRACT Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IV is a multisystem lysosomal storage disease characterized by severe skeletal dysplasia resulting from impaired degradation of the glycosaminoglycans keratan sulfate and chondroitin‐6‐sulfate. The condition is classified into Types A and B based on the underlying enzyme deficiency.

Management of odontoid fractures in the elderly [PDF]
Odontoid fractures are frequent in patients over 70 years of age, and in patients over 80 years of age they form the majority of spinal fractures. In a retrospective analysis of 23 geriatric (> 70 years) patients with a fracture of the odontoid, we compared some of the clinical features to a contemporary series of patients younger than 70 years of age.

Saul Wilson Syndrome: A Case Report With New Features in Saudi Arabia
ABSTRACT Saul Wilson syndrome is an extremely rare genetic disorder caused by heterozygous de novo mutations in the COG4 gene. We report the first case from Saudi Arabia with previously unreported facial dysmorphic features, expanding the known phenotypic spectrum and emphasizing the importance of recognizing phenotypic variability in rare disorders.
