Reducible Nonunited Type II Odontoid Fracture with Atlantoaxial Instability: Outcomes of Two Different Fixation Techniques

Reducible Nonunited Type II Odontoid Fracture with Atlantoaxial Instability: Outcomes of Two Different Fixation Techniques

Displaced nonunited type II odontoid fracture can result in atlantoaxial instability, causing delayed cervical myelopathy. Both Magerl’s C1-C2 transarticular screw fixation technique and Harms-Goel C1-C2 screw-rod segmental fixation technique are effective techniques to provide stability. This study...
