Atlantoaxial Stabilization by Posterior C1 and C2 Screw-Rod Fixation for Various Pathologies: Case Series and Comprehensive Review of Literature.

We retrospectively analyzed atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD) of various pathologies, namely, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), os odontoideum, and trauma. Various techniques were discussed in relation to C1-C2 stabilization. The study aims to share our clinical experience in a series of six cases of C1-C2 instability that underwent posterior C1-C2 fusion, with free hand technique and limited fluoroscopy.
