摘要
The authors report the successful treatment of an acute combination atlas-axis fracture in an 85-year-old man using anterior odontoid and Cl-2. transarticular facet screw fixation and a Philadelphia collar. Treatment with halo brace immobilization failed. and the patient experienced recurrent episodes of oxygen desaturation when placed partially prone for chest physiotherapy. If a posterior approach is not feasible, an anterior odontoid and Cl-2 transarticular facet screw fixation can be considered as a salvage procedure for patients with acute combination atlas-axis fractures.
