  • Title: [Screw fixation of the odontoid process].
    Author: Autricque A, Lesoin F, Jomin M.
    Journal: Presse Med; 1988 Sep 24; 17(32):1647-8. PubMed ID: 2973016.
    Abstract:
    Fractures of the odontoid process of the axis create problems of specific osteosynthesis. The different techniques described so far require an external support and limit the movements of the cranio-cervical joint. These 2 drawbacks are avoided by direct screw fixation of the odontoid process in cases where conditions are favourable to this procedure.
