pubmed-article:3239334 | pubmed:abstractText | In the period from 1981 to 1985, 32 odontoid fractures were treated in the National Institute of Traumatology. In 4 cases anterior stabilization was made with compression-screws from the ventral approach. Two cases of odontoid fractures are shown, one accompanied by ventral, the other by dorsal dislocation. A brief review of the results with different methods of treatment is given on the basis of the international literature. | lld:pubmed |
