The Surgical Treatment Principles of Atlantoaxial Instability Focusing on Rheumatoid Arthritis

Abstract

Higher intraoperative surgical complication rate was described in RA patients. Preoperative CT-based IGS in LC1-PC2 fixation can provide good neurological function and screw accuracy results. However, for higher screw accuracy in RA patients, intraoperative CT-based IGS application may be considered.
