Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Neurosurgery
  • Spinal Surgery

Background:

  • Cervical spine fractures, particularly of the odontoid process, present significant management challenges.
  • Traditional treatments like cervical collars or halo vests carry risks of non-union and displacement.
  • Arthrodesis procedures, while effective, often result in functional deficits.
