Odontoid fractures

MOJ Orthopedics & Rheumatology, 2018
Odontoid fractures account for approximately 7-15% (1) of cervical spine fractures, and almost 60% of fractures involving the axis. Neurological involvement is seen in upto 25% pts (2), and the primary mortality rate is around 12% (2). The mean age of occurrence is 47 years, with 2 peaks.
