Odontoid fracture with missed diagnosis of Transverse Atlantal Ligament (TAL) injury resulting in late-onset instability
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Surgical Neurology International"
DOI: 10.4103/sni.sni_315_18
Abstract: Background: Concurrent injuries to both the odontoid and transverse atlantal ligament are rare and can be easily missed. Failure to diagnose both lesions potentially leads to the late onset of sagittal plane instability and acute… read more here.
