Background: Hangman's fractures comprise approximately 20% of C2 fractures and often require surgery to correct significant angulation and/or subluxation. Recently, anchored anterior cervical cages (ACCs) have been used to fuse C2-3 as they reduce the risks of soft-tissue dissection, bone drilling, operative time, and postoperative dysphagia.
Methods: This single-center and retrospective study (2012-2019) included 12 patients (3 type I, 6 type II, and 3 type IIa fractures) undergoing C2-3 ACCs (zero profile, half plate, full plate).
