Atlantoaxial Stabilization Using C1 and C2 Laminar Screw Fixation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the use of a C1 laminar screw in combination with a C2 laminar screw as a salvage technique to treat two patients, one with persistent first intersegmental artery and the other with vertebral artery occlusion after cervical spine fracture. The combined use of C1 and C2 laminar screws allows for good fixation of the atlantoaxial joint with a lower risk of vertebral artery injury; therefore, it can be an alternative surgical procedure for patients with congenital or traumatic anomalous vertebral artery.

متن کاملBilateral C1-C2 claw for atlantoaxial instability.
OBJECTIVE Atlantoaxial stability can be achieved by laminar hook systems via posterior approach. This technique is much more safer than using screws. We presented our experience with the C1-C2 claw procedure. METHODS AND MATERIAL Seven patients with atlantoaxial instability were operated by using C1 and C2 hooks, rods and transverse connector at Neurosurgery Clinic of Istanbul University Cerr...

OBJECTIVE Atlantoaxial instability may result from various pathologic conditions and operative treatment may be required to correct the deformity, provide stability and prevent neurological deficits. We presented our clinic's experience using C1-C2 fusion with polyaxial screw and rod fixation for C1 and C2 instability for various reasons. METHODS AND MATERIAL Four patients with atlantoaxial i...
متن کاملBilateral C1–C2 Transarticular Screw and C1 Laminar Hook Fixation and Bone Graft Fusion for Reducible Atlantoaxial Dislocation: A Seven-Year Analysis of Outcome
BACKGROUND Bilateral C1-2 transarticular screw and C1 laminar hook fixation was developed on the basis of transarticular screws fixation. The modified technique has showed a better biomechanical stability than established techniques in previous study. However, long-term (minimum follow-up 7 years) outcomes of patients with reducible atlantoaxial dislocation who underwent this modified fixation ...
متن کاملCT-based morphometric analysis of C1 laminar dimensions: C1 translaminar screw fixation is a feasible technique for salvage of atlantoaxial fusions
BACKGROUND Translaminar screw fixation has become an alternative in the fixation of the axial and subaxial cervical spine. We report utilization of this approach in the atlas as a salvage technique for atlantoaxial stabilization when C1 lateral mass screws are precluded. To assess the feasibility of translaminar fixation at the atlas, we have characterized the dimensions of the C1 lamina in the...
