Posterior C1-C2 fixation combined with C6-C7 AL corpectomy/fusion and posterior pedicle screw fixation may offer a desirable alternative approach for this complex case of cervical trauma. During ...

It is made up of the atlas (C1) and the axis (C2). These vertebrae are atypical and are different in shape and function from the rest of the cervical vertebrae.

Posterior cervical fusion at C1-C2 is technically challenging due to the complex anatomy of this region. Optimal screw trajectory planning is crucial, yet currently relies extensively on imaging and ...

More than one in four people in the United States suffer from back pain. Medication, therapies and surgeries can offer relief, and now, for the first time, new technology is helping to make fusion ...

Triple fusion neck surgery, or three-level cervical fusion, fuses vertebrae in the neck at three levels. The area should heal into one piece, with no movement between the fused vertebrae.

ABSTRACT: Odontoid fracture accounts for 15%-20% of all cervical spine injuries. Among the odontoid fracture, type-2 fractureisthe most common variety. This injury is associated with a high incidence ...

Introduction Injuries to the cervical spine occur in 2%–4% of all patients on admission to the emergency room, but may be life-threatening if associated with spinal cord injury (SCI) (1). Between ...

Abstract Objective The present study aims to evaluate the screw length and trajectory angles for posterior atlantoaxial fixation in a Portuguese population, through the study of cervical computed ...

The study began in May 2020 and is designed to evaluate Circumferential Cervical Fusion (CCF) in high-risk cervical fusion patients by producing level-1 clinical evidence. The study includes patients ...
