Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Odontoid fractures, particularly vertical types, are rare and challenging spinal injuries.
  • Concomitant skull fractures with odontoid fractures are exceptionally uncommon, prompting investigation into shared pathogenetic mechanisms.
