Abstract:
An analysis of 28 cases of dens fracture has shown that conservative treatment is generally sufficient in Anderson type I and type III fractures. In type II fractures surgical treatment is indicated, especially if the fracture is dislocated, complicated by neurological impairment or has occurred in the elderly.
