Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Neurosurgery
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Injuries to the upper cervical spine (C0-C2) are significant in managing cervical spine trauma.
  • Despite increased surgical interventions, clear treatment guidelines for many C0-C2 injuries remain elusive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and comparatively analyze treatment options for specific upper cervical spine injuries.
  • To provide a comprehensive overview of injury mechanisms, clinical presentation, diagnostics, and management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on C0 fractures, occipital condyle fractures (OCF), atlanto-occipital dislocation (AOD), atlas fractures, atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD), and axis fractures.
  • Comparative analysis of treatment modalities reported in existing studies.

  • Synthesis of information on injury mechanisms, clinical signs, diagnostics, and therapeutic interventions.

    • Main Results:

    • The review details various upper cervical spine injuries, including OCF, AOD, atlas, AAD, and axis fractures.
    • Different treatment options for these injuries are discussed and compared based on literature findings.
    • Diagnostic procedures and clinical symptoms associated with these fractures are outlined.

    Conclusions:

    • There is a need for standardized treatment recommendations for upper cervical spine injuries.
    • This review offers a structured comparison of management strategies to aid clinical decision-making.
    • Further research and consensus are required to establish definitive treatment protocols for C0-C2 traumatic sequelae.
