Article Synopsis
- Traumatic atlanto-occipital dislocation is a rare but serious injury in children that has historically led to high mortality rates, although modern medical advancements have improved survival rates.
- Data was collected from 16 cases treated at an institution between 1986 and 2003, involving detailed review of medical records, neurological evaluations, and treatment outcomes.
- Out of the 16 patients, the average age was 7.6, with varying mechanisms of injury; 8 patients were declared dead upon arrival, and of the 8 survivors, several required intensive rehabilitation and surgeries for associated complications.
The usage patterns of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by orthopedic and nonorthopedic surgeons were studied. A sample consisting of the radiologist reports from all knee MRIs in a single year at our institution were reviewed. Studies to evaluate tumors or infections were excluded.
