Outcomes of Odontoid Process Fracture Surgery

CONCLUSIONS: 1. Odontoid fracture fixation with a single cannulated screw is a safe method of treatment. It provided a high union rate and good stability of the fracture. 2. Fracture non-union was noted more often in the group of older patients, but it did not negatively impact quality of life and performance.PMID:38088099 | DOI:10.5604/01.3001.0053.9673
