Occipitocervical fusion (OCF) is an effective treatment for instability of occipitocervical junction (OCJ). The occipital condyle screw serves as a novel surgical technique for occipitocervical fixation. However, the intraoperative procedures for the occipital condyle screw technique have relied on surgeons’ experience, so the pool of surgeons who are able to perform this surgery safely is limited. The present study aims to evaluate the feasibility and safety of the occipital condyle screw technique using human cadavers and to provide image anatomy for clinical application basis.
