Abstract:
[Objective]To discuss the causes and preventive measures of early complications after using Vertes technique in treating dens axis fracture with atlantoaxial dislocation.[Method]Eighteen cases performed Vertex technique were included in this study.The early complications(postoperative or at surgery) included vertebral artery injury(2 cases),logagnosia(1 case),anopsia(1 case),hematorrhea(1 case) and wrong instrumentation(1 case).The causes of these complications and how to prevent were analyzed.[Result]All these complications were treated in time,and no sequela was found.[Conclusion]The early complications of Vertex technique in treating dens axis fracture with atlantoaxial joint dislocation can be prevented.The timely treatment must be performed when it occurs,and the effect would be satisfactory.
