Abstract:
The fracture of the axis arch is a rare uppercervical vertebrae fracture. It is easy to misdiag-nose. From 1971 to 1989, 7 cases of the fracturewere admitted to our hospital. Diagnoses were con-firmed by injury history, clinical features and X-ray films. The treatment results were as follows:six patients were in excellent condition and one pa-tient was in good one. The three following prob-lems were discussed: ①The mechanism of injury.②The misdiagnosis causes and its preventivemethods. ③Most patients can be treated conserva-tively and can be up. Only a few Type III fractureswill require operation after the failure of non-oper-ative treatment or at the time of conplicated injuryof the spinal cord occurring lately.
