The management of odontoid fractures represents both a clinical and a technical challenge due to the singular anatomy and biomechanics of the region. At present there is still much controversy as far as any form of management (surgical vs. conservative) is concerned and in any case there is not sufficient evidence to support a standardized form of treatment. This study was designed to further evaluate safety and efficacy of anterior odontoid single-screw fixation and to better determine the usefulness of Image Guided Surgery Virtual Fluoroscopy in treating such cases assessing also its advantages over traditional fluoroscopy and CT-guided frameless stereotaxy in the upper cervical spine surgery.
