Title: Atlantoaxial rotary subluxation after minor trauma. Author: Sobolewski BA, Mittiga MR, Reed JL. Journal: Pediatr Emerg Care; 2008 Dec; 24(12):852-6. PubMed ID: 19092567. Abstract: We present a case of atlantoaxial rotary subluxation after a minor injury managed by manual reduction under sedation.

In our discussion, we review etiology, diagnosis, as well as pre- and in-hospital management.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
