摘要
The Magerl transfacet screw technique is a method of fixation for unstable burst fractures of the atlas (Jefferson's fracture) that precludes the use of a halo brace or stabilization from the occiput to C-2. Two cases are presented utilizing this mode of treatment to obtain solid arthrodesis and maintain intact motion at occipital cervical junction. No increased displacement of the fractured ring of C-1 occurred with the screw insertion. Thus, primary C-1-C-2 transfacet screw fixation is a useful alternative treatment for unstable Jefferson's fractures.
