Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of the cannulated screw fixation in treatment of the dens fracture under locational guidance. Methods The study involved 27 patients treated with the cannulated screw fixation under locational guidance from January 2005 to January 2009.There were 19 patients with type II fracture and eight with type light m fracture.The lateral and open mouth position X-ray examination of the cervical ventebrae was done to observe the fracture healing. Results The operation lasted for a range of 40 minutes to 1.3 hour (average 1.0 hour),which showed no any complications.The patients were followed up for average 6.5 months(3-12 months),which showed sound fracture healing in 26 patients but nonhealing in one. Conclusion The cannulated screw fixation for treatment of the dens fracture under locational guidance is characterized by easy operation,minor trauma and satisfactory outcome.
