Abstract

The indications for our 22 cases of atlantoaxial arthrodesis include rupture of transverse ligament, fracture of odontoid process, and absence of odontoid process. The surgical techniques of H-shaped unicortical and bicortical iliac grafts have been described. All our patients experienced satisfactory relief of their symptoms and reversal of their neurological deficits. In spite of the relatively minor postoperative complications, we feel that atlantoaxial fusion is a safe and effective method in treating various diseases of the atlantoaxial region.
