This case study details a successful surgical fusion for a patient with rotational atlantoaxial dislocation after a car accident. The Magerl technique provided pain relief and stability, despite anatomical challenges.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • A 45-year-old female sustained head, neck, and shoulder injuries in a motor vehicle accident.
  • Initial diagnosis included concussion and cervical spine strain, treated conservatively with limited success.

Observation:

  • Persistent occipitocervical pain led to further examination.
  • Radiographs and CT revealed a Grade I rotational atlantoaxial dislocation (C1-C2).

Findings:

  • Conservative treatment failed; surgical intervention was required 12 months post-injury.
  • A dorsal approach with C1-C2 fixation using Magerl and Gallie techniques resulted in a stable atlantoaxial fusion.

Implications:

  • The Magerl technique can be effective for rotational atlantoaxial dislocation, even with altered anatomy.
