  • Title: Traumatic Anterior Atlantoaxial Rotatory Subluxation (Type III) Associated with Type III Odontoid Fracture: A Case Report.
    Author: Gahlot N.
    Journal: JBJS Case Connect; 2020; 10(2):e0485. PubMed ID: 32649102.
    Abstract:
    CASE: A 47-year-old man presented with traumatic anterior atlantoaxial subluxation (type III) associated with type III odontoid fracture with no neurological deficit. He was managed surgically with posterior reduction and C1-C2 fixation and fusion. The association of anterior atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation (Fielding type III) with odontoid fracture (Anderson and D'Alonzo type III) is rare with only 7 reported cases in recent literature. CONCLUSIONS: This report adds important information regarding the management and presentation of such an injury and also describes a serious complication associated with type III odontoid fractures, which was managed conservatively.
