  • Title: [Pain reduction by trans-articular atlanto-axial screw fixation in patients with chronic polyarthritis].
    Author: Theiler R, Grob D, Dvorak J, Janssen B, Baumgartner H.
    Journal: Z Rheumatol; 1992; 51(5):222-8. PubMed ID: 1282287.
    Abstract:
    To reduce the risk of cervical myelopathy, 32 patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and atlanto-axial dislocation (AAD) underwent a suboccipital fusion. All patients were interviewed with a pain questionnaire after a mean postoperative follow-up of 21 months (range 2-46). The results indicate a significant postoperative pain reduction as assessed by a visual numeric analogue scale, as well as a reduction of analgesic consumption.
