Preservation of Atlantoaxial Rotation in Type II Odontoid Fracture: Successful Single Screw Anterior Odontoid Fixation in a Young Adult [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research
Type II odontoid fractures are the most prevalent type of cervical spine fracture in adults, and they are frequently linked with craniovertebral junction instability.

Duration of External Neck Stabilisation (DENS) following odontoid fracture in older or frail adults: protocol for a randomised controlled trial of collar versus no collar

BMJ Open, 2022
Introduction Fractures of the odontoid process frequently result from low impact falls in frail or older adults. These are increasing in incidence and importance as the population ages. In the UK, odontoid fractures in older adults are usually managed in

Odontoid process fractures: the role of the ligaments in maintaining stability. A biomechanical, cadaveric study

SICOT-J, 2015
Aims: We wished to investigate the role of the cervical ligaments in maintaining atlantoaxial stability after fracture of the odontoid process. Methods: We dissected eight fresh-frozen cadaveric cervical spines to prepare the C1 and C2 ...

The Y-shaped trabecular bone structure in the odontoid process of the axis: a CT scan study in 54 healthy subjects and biomechanical considerations.

Journal of Neurosurgery : Spine, 2019
OBJECTIVEOdontoid process fractures are very common in both young and geriatric patients. The axial trabecular architecture of the dens appears to be crucial for physiological and biomechanical function of the C1-2 joint.

Comparison of Two Posterior Minimally Invasive Approaches for Odontoid Fractures: Midline Nuchal Ligament Approach vs. Paramedian Muscle-Splitting Approach. [PDF]

Orthop Surg
The midline nuchal ligament approach yields clinical outcomes similar to those of the paramedian muscle‐splitting technique for odontoid fractures, while offering a more stable surgical procedure and reducing iatrogenic injury to the cervical posterior muscles and the greater occipital nerve.

Healing process of Type II odontoid fractures after C1-C2 posterior screw fixation: Predictive factors for pseudoarthrosis

Surgical neurology international, 2022
Background: The healing process after C1-C2 posterior screw fixation (C1-C2 PSF) for odontoid fractures is not well understood. Here, we evaluated such processes and identified factors potentially contributing to pseudoarthroses following fusions for ...

Atraumatic Occult Odontoid Fracture in Patients with Osteoporosis-Associated Thoracic Kyphotic Deformity: Report of a Case and Review of the Literature

Case Reports in Orthopedics, 2015
Anderson type II odontoid fractures are reported to be the most common injury of the odontoid process in patients over the age of 65. However, atraumatic occult Anderson type III odontoid fractures have been rarely described and remain a diagnostic ...
