✓ Sixty-one patients treated with C1–2 transarticular screw fixation for spinal instability
participated in a detailed clinical and radiological study to determine outcome and clarify …

Study Design. A novel technique of atlantoaxial stabilization using individual fixation of the
C1 lateral mass and the C2 pedicle with minipolyaxial screws and rods is described. In …

OBJECTIVE: We review our experience with the use of the plate and screw method of
fixation in the treatment of 160 patients with atlantoaxial instability during a 14-year period at …

✓ Posterior transarticular screw fixation of the C1–2 complex has become an accepted
method of rigid internal fixation for patients requiring posterior C1–2 fusion. The principal …

OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: Transarticular screw fixation of the C1–C2 complex
provides immediate rigid fixation of the unstable spine. The technique is not feasible in a …

OBJECTIVE: To assess the outcomes associated with C1-C2 transarticular screw fixation.
METHODS: The clinical outcomes of 121 patients treated with posterior C1-C2 transarticular …

Study Design. Six different techniques for atlantoaxial fixation were biomechanically
compared in vitro by nondestructive testing. Objective. To evaluate the immediate three …

Study Design. An in vitro biomechanical study of C1–C2 posterior fusion techniques was
conducted using a cadaveric model. Objective. To investigate and compare the acute …

Abstract POSTERIOR WIRING TECHNIQUES are the most commonly used methods of
achieving C1-C2 arthrodesis. Recently, transarticular screw fixation and interlaminar …
