Fractures of the C1 and C2 vertebrae usually occur together. Fractures may result from diving in shallow water, falling, motor vehicle accidents,1and/or hitting an obstacle with the forehead or chin.2Trauma to C1-C2 may also causewhiplash injury, spondylolisthesis, nerve injury, and/or spinal ...
Between October 1984 and April 1989 23 patients suffering from fractures of the atlas and/or the odontoid vertebra underwent surgical stabilization in our department. Of these patients, 69% sustained injuries in automobile or motorbike/cycle accidents. The number of accidents with frontal collison ...
DORSAL PERCUTANOUS FIXATION OF C1/2 IN C1 AND C2 FRACTURES OF OLD PATIENTS Discussion: Percutanous dorsal transarticular screw fixation C1/2 is a challanging procedure for stabilization of atlantoaxial fractures. Main advantages compared to other operation techniques are less blood loss, short operati...
Cervical spinal fractures: CT detection. The CT scans were interpreted independent of the anatomic sections. Pedicle and lateral mass fractures were regularly unrecognized on CT scans. In these cases, widening and hemarthrosis of the adjacent facet joints were evident. A widened... P Pech,DP ...
