DOI: 10.1007/s00402-019-03164-0
Abstract: ObjectiveFor odontoid fractures, surgical treatment approaches including anterior odontoid screw fixation approach and the posterior C1–C2 arthrodesis approach are generally adopted in practice. However, the choice of different surgical procedures remains controversial. In addition to… read more here.
