Article Synopsis
- Odontoid fractures, especially common in the elderly, lead to serious health risks, and surgical treatment shows better outcomes than non-surgical methods.

- Results indicate both fixation techniques maintain similar movement patterns in the cervical spine during various types of motion, with no significant differences in stability or movement dynamics between the two methods.
