Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Neurosurgery
  • Spinal surgery

Context:

  • Odontoid process fractures, particularly Type II and selected Type III, present significant treatment challenges.
  • Traditional conservative treatments often result in high rates of pseudoarthrosis.
  • Direct osteosynthesis offers an alternative surgical approach for stabilizing these fractures.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of direct osteosynthesis for odontoid process fractures.
  • To compare outcomes with existing literature.
  • To assess patient satisfaction and complication rates.

Summary:

  • Ninety-nine patients underwent direct anterior osteosynthesis for odontoid fractures (84 Type II, 15 Type III).
  • Follow-up averaged 28.5 months, with 91.3% achieving fracture healing.

  • The procedure demonstrated a low complication rate and high patient satisfaction, with minimal impact on cervical spine rotation.

    • Impact:

    • Direct osteosynthesis provides immediate stability for odontoid fractures, facilitating early mobilization.
    • This technique achieves high healing rates comparable to international standards.
    • It represents a viable, effective surgical option for managing specific odontoid fracture types.
