We present our clinical experience and the results of surgical treatment of 13 patients with rheumatoid involvement of the cervical spine, namely severe atlanto-axial dislocation. A posterior fusion was carried out using a bicortical H-shaped iliac crest bone graft and steel wire. Postoperatively all patients were immobilized for 8 weeks in a Halo cast. There were no postoperative complications and all patients showed a stable fusion confirmed by radiography. Complete pain relief was obtained in 9 patients, partial in 4.
