Posterior osteosynthesis of the atlas for nonconsolidated Jefferson fractures: a new surgical technique.

Abstract:

STUDY DESIGN:Case report and surgical technique. OBJECTIVE:To describe a new technique to treat atlas burst fractures by selectively reconstructing the atlas from a posterior approach. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA:The two surgical techniques reported until now for stabilizing atlas burst fractures are associated with some drawbacks. Posterior C0-C2 or C1-C2 fixations significantly reduce head rotation, while the transoral C1 lateral masses osteosynthesis can be associated with oropharyngeal and neurological complications. We propose a new surgical technique for the treatment of unstable Jefferson fractures aimed at avoiding these problems. METHODS:A 25-year-old man presented with a Jefferson type III atlas fracture after a traffic accident. The fracture failed to consolidate after 3 months of halo brace immobilization. Surgery consisted in inserting bilateral posterior C1 lateral mass screws interconnected by a transversal rod, thereby creating a second C1 posterior arch under the fractured one. RESULTS:Postoperative course was uneventful. Immediate postoperative stability was confirmed on dynamic X-ray films and head rotation was preserved. Delayed computed tomography scan demonstrated fracture consolidation. CONCLUSION:The surgical technique described is new and effective for treating atlas burst fractures. This posterior procedure allows mobility preservation, with a low morbidity rate.
