The type of C2 fracture, neurologic examination at presentation, type of surgical treatment, perioperative morbidity and mortality, presence of osseous union, and stability of alignment were recorded. Long-term disposition was determined...
We sought to evaluate the long-term C1-C2 fusion rates, fracture healing, and functional outcomes in geriatric patients with type II odontoid fracture treated with posterior fixation with polyaxial C1 lateral mass screws and C2 pars screws. Methods Twenty-one consecutive patients between 2005 and ...

Crowned dens syndrome results from the deposition of calcium on the dens of C2. Calcium from the surrounding ligaments may deposit on the dens of C2. This deposition causes inflammation and reduced mobility of the C1-C2 joint. Depending on the type of injury, associated symptoms may occur in ...
rupture of organs, such as the intestines or uterus. These complications can be fatal. About 1 in 4 people with vascular type EDS develop a significant health problem by age 20, and more than 80 percent develop complications by age 40. The median age of death is 48 years....

Twenty-four of 29 patients had type II dens fractures alone. The remaining 5 had associated C1 fractures. All patients were neurologically intact at presentation except for 2 patients with signs and symptoms of central cord syndrome. Perioperative complications occurred in 3 patients (10...
Indications included: type 2 dens fracture, rheumatoid arthritis, spondylotic ligamentous laxity, os odontoideum, and synovial cyst. OUTCOME MEASURES: Postoperative incidence of C2 neuralgia after cutting C2 in posterior C1-C2 instrumented fixation is analyzed. If present, the degree of discomfort and...
Methods From 2002鈥 2010, 20 consecutive patients underwent posterolateral instrumented fusions using C1 lateral mass and C2 pars or pedicle screws, mainly for type 2 dens fractures. Screws were placed under lateral fluoroscopic guidance using standard techniques. Bilateral C2 nerve roots were coagulated...
spine fracture consolidationcase seriesBackground: C2 fractures can be classified differently when dens, pedicles or body are injured. With regards to the best management of Type-II Anderson-D'Alonzo fractures, Hangman's fractures of pedicles and C2 body fractures are more debatable. However, ...
