  • Title: Rotatory subluxation of the atlas on the axis.
    Author: Iulo AD, Goldstone RA.
    Journal: JACEP; 1976 Jul; 5(7):523-4. PubMed ID: 940242.
    Abstract:
    The clinical findings of rotatory subluxation of the atlas are subtle and x-ray films involving the upper cervical segment are difficult to interpret. Nevertheless, patients with rotatory subluxation must be separated from those with "stiff necks," for they require hospital admission for cervical traction if complications are to be avoided. A case is reported and management and diagnosis are reviewed.
