Article Synopsis
- Most hangman's fractures (L-E Type II) can often be treated nonoperatively, but some cases may require surgical intervention using minimally invasive techniques.
- A study involving 5 patients used a percutaneous screw fixation method guided by 3D fluoroscopy and neuronavigation, resulting in no complications and stable outcomes.
- The authors suggest that while this technique can be applied to certain types of hangman's fractures, careful consideration of ligament and disc injuries is crucial, and it is not suitable for more severe L-E Type III fractures.
