  • Title: Functional Anatomy and Biomechanics of the Craniovertebral Junction.
    Author: Dahdaleh NS, El-Tecle N, Cloney MB, Shlobin NA, Koski TR, Wolinsky JP.
    Journal: World Neurosurg; 2023 Jul; 175():165-171. PubMed ID: 37365762.
    Abstract:
    The craniovertebral junction (CVJ) involves the atlas, axis, and occiput along with the atlanto-occipital and atlantoaxial joints. The anatomy and neural and vascular anatomy of the junction render the CVJ unique. Specialists treating disorders that affect the CVJ must appreciate its intricate anatomy and should be well versed in its biomechanics. This first article in a three-article series provides an overview of the functional anatomy and biomechanics of the CVJ.
