The clival screws fixation can achieve strong biomechanical stability in the occipitocervical region, which may serve as an optimized occipitocervical fixation method through the clivus. ABSTRACT Objective The clivus is trapezoidal in shape with uneven bone structure, the optimal number and position of screws for clival fixation are not clear ...

Posterior atlanto-axial fixation with polyaxial C1 lateral mass screws and C2 pars screws [PDF]
Purpose: C1-C2 instability or painful osteoarthritis are recognised indications for posterior atlanto-axial fixation. In the traditional trans-articular C1-C2 screw fixation, up to 20% of patients cannot have safe placement of bilateral screws in the ...

Odontoid Fracture in a Patient With Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis
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.

Accuracy of freehand fluoroscopy-guided placement of C1 lateral mass and C2 isthmic screws in atlanto-axial instability [PDF]
Background: The C1 lateral mass and C2 isthmic stabilization, as introduced by Goel and Laheri and by Harms and Melcher, is a well-known fixation technique. We present the clinical and radiographic results with freehand fluoroscopy guided C1 lateral mass
