Abstract:
A 9-month-old child sustained a displaced odontoid fracture in a motor vehicle accident. She was treated with closed reduction and a Minerva cast for 6 weeks, followed by a collar for an additional 2 weeks. At 5-year follow-up, she had made a complete recovery with solid union, no deformity, and no instability.
