A Review of Techniques for Atlanto-Axial Fixation
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Abstract: Many techniques have been developed for the fixation of atlanto-axial junction in cases with significant instability. Currently, the techniques most commonly used for atlanto-axial fusion are posterior wiring techniques, posterior clamps, C1-C2 transarticular screws, C1 lateral mass screw with C2 pedicle screw fixation and rod and clamp fixation. This article aims to describe each of these methods in terms of their principle, advantages and disadvantages over each other.
