DOI: 10.1007/s00586-021-06806-3
Abstract: Odontoid process fractures can extend rostral into the C2 arch. We investigated the clinical impact of a concurrent fracture of the pars interarticularis on odontoid failure. To overcome the surgical challenges related to the morphology… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-02174-w
Abstract: C2 pars interarticularis length (C2PIL) required for pars screws has not been thoroughly studied in subjects with high-riding vertebral artery (HRVA). We aimed to measure C2PIL specifically on the sides with HRVA, define short pars,… read more here.

DOI: 10.14444/8292
Abstract: Background Lumbar laminectomy is a surgical procedure allowing for decompression of neural structures. A wide laminectomy to adequately decompress neural elements without compromising the structural integrity of the spinal column is ideal. Pars interarticularis fractures… read more here.
