Odontoid screw fixation of a type II odontoid fracture in a patient with autofused C2–C3 vertebral bodies [PDF]
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

Odontoid Fracture in a Patient With Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis [PDF]
Nonoperative management of fractures in the setting of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) or ankylosing spondylitis is often unsuccessful. The subaxial spine is a common site of hyperextension fractures in the setting of DISH.

Objective: Odontoid fractures make up 10-15% of all cervical fractures. Odontoid process fracture and ligament injury can end up with antero- and posterolisthesis at C1-2 complex, subluxation and spinal cord compression. Methods: In this study, 12 cases with odontoid fractures treated at our department were evaluated.

Spastic quadriparesis due to pathological fracture of odontoid secondary to carcinoma prostate: A rare presentation [PDF]
Prostate carcinoma presenting as symptomatic metastases to atlantoaxial spine is extremely rare. Spastic quadriparesis due to pathological fracture of odontoid as the only initial manifestation without symptoms of primary malignancy is rarer still.

A Case of Initial Missed Diagnosis of Fatal Posterior Atlantoaxial Dislocation Without Odontoid Fracture. [PDF]
ABSTRACT We report a rare case of fatal posterior atlantoaxial dislocation without odontoid fracture. Attention should be paid to the possibility of delayed or missed diagnosis of cervical spine injury in patients with disturbance of consciousness.
