Morphometric parameters of the odontoid process of C2 vertebrae, in Indian population, a CT evaluation. [PDF]
Surg Neurol Int, 2021 Background: Osteosynthesis of odontoid fractures, especially for type II odontoid fractures, is often achieved by the placement of screws. Here, utilizing CT, we evaluated the normal anatomy of the odontoid process in an Indian population to determine ...
