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

Management of odontoid fractures in the elderly [PDF]
European Spine Journal, 1999 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.

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 ...
