Background: The progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) affects the patient's kidney glomeruli and tubules, whose normal functioning is essential for maintaining normal calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) metabolism in the body. The risk of developing osteoporosis (OP) in patients with DKD increases with the aggravation of the disease, including a higher risk of fractures, which not only affects the quality of life of patients but also increases the risk of death.
Aim: To analyze the risk factors for the development of OP in patients with DKD and their correlation with Ca-P metabolic indices, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), and Klotho.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of utilizing C1 posterior arch screws (PAS) combined with C2 translaminar screws as an adjunct for reinforcing upper cervical spine fixation.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on four male patients who underwent surgery involving C1 PASs and C2 translaminar screws between January 2022 and February 2024. Surgical technique involved the insertion of standard C1 lateral mass screws (LMS) and C2 pedicle screws, followed by the placement of C1 PASs and C2 translaminar screws for additional fixation.
