Occipitocervical fixation is used for the treatment of nontraumatic upper cervical instabilities. To date, plates have been fixed with screws or wires. However, these devices are not indicated in the treatment of patients with severe osteoporosis or in instances of significant thinning of the occipital bone. We performed a clinical trial of a new type of fixation that uses cervical interlaminar hooks and occipital claws with hooks or with screws (CCD type; Sofamor-Danek, Roissy, France) for the treatment of nontraumatic upper cervical instabilities.
