Abstract

Abstract


Os odontoideum can lead to atlantoaxial instability, which can be either reducible or a fixed dislocation. We present surgical management in four patients with os odontoideum at our center. Two of these had reducible dislocations and were managed by posterior transarticular screw fixation. Other two had fixed dislocations necessitating posterior decompression and occipitocervical fixation.
