A new method of occipitocervical fusion using internal fixation

G A Flint et al. Neurosurgery. 1987 Dec.

Abstract

We describe a method for decompression and fusion of the occipitocervical junction in cases of atlantoaxial subluxation. Use of an implanted steel rectangle provides immediate rigid internal fixation, permitting early mobilization with minimal external support.
