Odontoid fractures are the most common cervical spine fractures in elderly patients. Treatment options included operative fixation (OP) or nonoperative management with either a halo-vest (HV) or rigid cervical orthosis (CO). Our previous study suggested increased morbidity and mortality with the use of HV in the treatment of elderly patients with cervical spine fractures. We review a series of odontoid fractures in elderly patients and evaluate for predictors for in-hospital morbidity and mortality.
