Three-dimensional kinematic analysis of the cervical spine following posterior atlantoaxial fusion under physiological loading: An in vivo study.

Clin Biomech (Bristol)

January 2025

The Orthopedic Hospital, The First Affiliated Hospital, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China. Electronic address:

Background: This study aimed to analyze the three-dimensional cervical motion characteristics in patients who underwent posterior atlantoaxial fusion surgeries using cone beam computed tomography and 3D3D registration technology.

Methods: The study selected 20 patients who underwent posterior atlantoaxial fusion surgery and 20 healthy people as the control group. All subjects underwent cone beam computed tomography scans of the occipital and cervical spine in 7 different functional positions, then 3D3D registration of Occipital-C7 was performed at each functional position to calculate the motion characteristics of each segment.

Novel MRI Signs in Atlantodental Space Predict Reduction Degree of Atlantoaxial Dislocation.

Orthop Surg

January 2025

Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Orthopedic Research Institute, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

Objective: The type of atlantodental space tissue in patients with atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD) can help doctors understand the possibility of reduction before surgery. However, relevant research on this topic is lacking. This study aimed to summarize cases of AAD, classified based on the atlantodental space using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and preliminarily explore its impact on the degree of reduction.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the biomechanical differences of three cranial fixation methods in patients with basilar invagination-atlantoaxial dislocation (BI-AAD) complicated by atlas occipitalization (AOZ).
  • It presents findings from finite element analysis on a specific patient, comparing C1-C2 fixation, occipitocervical fixation, and an occipital plate fixation regarding range of motion and peak stress.
  • Results indicate that C1 lateral mass screws offer reduced movement in lateral bending and axial rotation but come with higher stress, while the occipital plate group shows the most movement and lowest stress.
