![]() ![]() Piedra, Mark P Hunt, Matthew A Nemecek, Andrew NĮarly fixation of type II odontoid fractures has been shown to provide high rates of long-term stabilization and osteosynthesis. In conclusion, we suggest that Ozer's technique may help to increase the fusion capacity for osteoporotic type II odontoid fractures.Īnterior screw fixation of a dislocated type II odontoid fracture facilitated by transoral and posterior cervical manual reduction. However, the radiological results showed 100% fusion for Ozer's screw fixation technique and 83% fusion for the classical screw fixation technique. There was no difference regaring the clinical features of the groups. We have also compared (radiologically and clinically) the classical anterior transodontoid screw fixation (group II: 6 cases) and Ozer's transodontoid screw fixation technique (group I: 5 cases) retrospectively. We have divided 11 patients in two groups as classical and Ozer's technique. Eleven osteoporotic type II odontoid fracured patients were presented in this article. The nonunion of type II odontoid fractures is still a major problem especially in elderly and osteoporotic patients.
