Outcomes following anterior odontoid screw versus posterior arthrodesis for odontoid fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: Odontoid fractures can be managed surgically when indicated. The most common approaches are anterior dens screw (ADS) fixation and posterior C1-C2 arthrodesis (PA). Each approach has theoretical advantages, but the optimal surgical approach remains controversial.

Slow progress in the visibility of women in neurosurgery in the United States: opportunity for improvement.

Objective: The goal of this study was to analyze the visibility of women within organized neurosurgery, including leadership positions, lectureships, and honored guest/award recipients at neurosurgical conferences.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was used to analyze the gender demographics within the five major national neurosurgical societies (Congress of Neurological Surgeons [CNS], American Association of Neurological Surgeons [AANS], Society of Neurological Surgeons [SNS], American Board of Neurological Surgery [ABNS], and Council of State Neurosurgical Societies [CSNS]) from 2000 to 2020. Data for top leadership positions, keynote speakers, honored guests, and invited lectureships at these neurosurgical societies were reviewed.
