Area of Science:

Orthopedics
Neurosurgery
Spinal Surgery

Context:

Os odontoideum is a rare congenital anomaly of the upper cervical spine.
Atlanto-axial instability can lead to serious neurological deficits.
Surgical intervention is considered for symptomatic cases.

Purpose:

To evaluate the efficacy of occipito-cervical fusion in patients with os odontoideum and atlanto-axial instability.
To assess the fusion rates and long-term outcomes of surgical treatment.

Summary:

Seventeen patients with os odontoideum were reviewed.
Twelve patients underwent occipito-cervical fusion due to atlanto-axial instability.
All patients achieved successful fusion with satisfactory results during 2-16 years of follow-up.

Impact:

Surgical treatment, specifically occipito-cervical fusion, is indicated for os odontoideum combined with atlanto-axial instability.
This approach provides a reliable solution for achieving spinal stability and improving patient outcomes.
Highlights the importance of surgical intervention in managing this specific spinal condition.
