Atlanto-axial fixation in traumatic Atlanto-axial dislocation with odontoid process fracture
International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences · 2021 · Vol. 7(2) · pp. 364–368
Abstract
Atlanto-axial segment is made up of Atlas (c1) and axis (c2) vertebrae. This segment is responsible for rotational movement in the region of the cervical spine. Instability and damage to this segment can occur due to various reasons and can lead to abnormal motion with neurological consequences. Here we describe a case of 21 year old male with traumatic Atlanto-axial dislocation with odontoid process fracture with left upper limb weakness with gait instability treated with posterior vertebral fixation using pedicle screws with its clinical as well as radiological outcome.
