Atlantoaxial Dislocation with Bony Fusion of C1/2 Facet Joints Treated with Posterior Joint Release, Distraction and Reduction

Abstract

Joint release, distraction, cage implantation, and atlantoaxial or occipitocervical fixation can successfully manage bony irreducible AAD. This technique provided an option for bony fused AAD and improved safety and efficacy of its management.
