The midline nuchal ligament approach yields clinical outcomes similar to those of the paramedian muscle‐splitting technique for odontoid fractures, while offering a more stable surgical procedure and reducing iatrogenic injury to the cervical posterior muscles and the greater occipital nerve.

Fracture of the anterior arch of the atlas, accompanied by posterior atlantoaxial dislocation, typically presents on CT imaging as the odontoid process penetrating through and causing a high‐energy shear fracture of the anterior arch. This injury may occur with or without retained fracture fragments.

The epidemiology of odontoid fractures : a study from the Swedish fracture register [PDF]
Purpose The objective of this study is to characterize the occurrence of odontoid fractures within a Swedish population. Methods Prospective data of adults diagnosed with an odontoid fracture between 2015 and 2021 were retrieved from the Swedish Fracture

Quantitative 3-dimensional Computed Tomography (Q3DCT) analysis of odontoid fractures [PDF]
The primary aim of this paper is to introduce Quantitative 3-dimensional Computed Tomography (Q3DCT) for odontoid fractures to assess if fracture characteristics differ between the Anderson and d'Alonso subclasses. Secondarily, we assessed if high energy

Posterior transodontoid fixation: A new fixation (Kotil) technique
Anterior odontoid screw fixation or posterior C1-2 fusion techniques are routinely used in the treatment of Type II odontoid fractures, but these techniques may be inadequate in some types of odontoid fractures.

Early life functional transitions impact craniofacial morphology in osteogenesis imperfecta
Abstract Early life behaviors have a profound role in shaping adult craniofacial morphology. During early life, all mammals undergo the dynamic transition from suckling to mastication, a period coinciding with rapid cranial biomineralization. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a genetic disorder that impacts the production of type I collagen, disrupts ...

Combined double fracture of the odontoid process and fracture of the atlas [PDF]
We report a rare case of double fractures of the odontoid process combined with a fracture of the anterior arch of the atlas. Combined fractures of the odontoid process and the upper cervical spine are not unusual.

Traumatic odontoid process synchondrosis fracture with atlantoaxial instability in a calf: clinical presentation and imaging findings [PDF]
A 6-week-old female Simmental calf was evaluated for acute non-ambulatory tetraparesis. Physical and laboratory examinations revealed no clinically relevant abnormalities. Neurological findings were consistent with acute, progressive and painful cervical
