  • Title: Surgical management of atlantoaxial subluxation in 23 dogs.
    Author: Thomas WB, Sorjonen DC, Simpson ST.
    Journal: Vet Surg; 1991; 20(6):409-12. PubMed ID: 1369524.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-eight surgical procedures were performed in 23 dogs with atlantoaxial subluxation. Dorsal stabilization in seven dogs resulted in two recoveries and five failures of fixation. Ventral decompression and stabilization in 18 dogs resulted in eight recoveries and four failures of fixation. Six dogs died or were euthanatized within 7 days of ventral stabilization. Using either technique, four of seven nonambulatory dogs recovered.
