Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical effects of atlantoaxial pedicle screw instrumentation in treatment of intractable atlantoaxial dislocation in children. Methods A total of 7 patients with intractable atlantoaxial dislocations were treated with aflantoaxial pedicle screw instrumentation plus atlantoaxial bone grafting from June 2002 to January 2001. Results The dislocation in all patients reached complete reduction, with no complications. All patients were followed up for average 10 months (8-14 months). Radiographs showed successful bone fusion in all patients. Conclusion Atlantoaxial pedicle screw fixation and fusion is an effective method for treatment of intractable atlantoaxial dislocation in chil dren.
