Three-point atlantoaxial fixation with C1-C2 transarticular screws and C1 lateral mass screws.
CONCLUSIONS: C1 lateral mass and C1-C2 transarticular polyaxial screw rod fixation is a novel and potentially effective surgical technique for achieving immediate rigid immobilization of the C1-C2 motion segment. However, further biomechanical studies should be performed to prove our clinical results.
