Fractures of the odontoid process

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 2000
We treated 183 patients with fractures of the odontoid process (109 type II, 74 type III) non-operatively. Union was achieved in 59 (54%) with type-II fractures. All type-III fractures united, but in 16 patients union was delayed. There was no correlation between union and the clinical or radiological outcome of the fractures.

Agenesis of the Odontoid Process

Radiology, 1956
Failure of ossification of the odontoid process of the second cervical vertebra is a rare developmental anomaly which may be asymptomatic for many years. As a result of more thorough roentgenologic examinations, the condition has been noted with increasing frequency since its original description by Roberts in 1933 (1).

FRACTURE OF THE ODONTOID PROCESS

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1976
A 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.
