Endoscopic transnasal anterior release and posterior reduction without odontoidectomy for irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:To investigate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic transnasal anterior release and posterior reduction without odontoidectomy to treat irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation (IAAD). METHODS:A series of 9 patients with IAAD underwent endoscopic transnasal anterior release and posterior reduction without odontoidectomy. Etiology, instrumentation, fusion rate, and complications were documented. All patients were assessed clinically and radiologically for neurological recovery using the Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score, atlantodontoid interval (ADI), and cervicomedullary angle (CMA). RESULTS:The mean age of the patients was 41.6 years, ranging from 14 to 60 years. Pathology showed os odontoideum in 3 patients, old traumatic dens fracture in 3 patients, occipitalization of C1 in 2 patients, and rheumatoid arthritis in 1 patient. Seven patients underwent C1-C2 pedicle screw fixations, and 2 patients required occipitocervical fixation. Eight cases resulted in complete reduction and 1 in partial reduction. Complications included one superficial infection related to the posterior approach. All patients were followed up for an average of 17 (range 13-32) months. Bony fusion was confirmed in all cases under radiologic assessment at 1 year postoperatively, and the bony fusion rate reached 100%. Moreover, no instrumental failure occurred during the entire follow-up period. The JOA score improved from 7.21 ± 1.62 to 12.28 ± 0.81 at the last follow-up. The ADI of 9 cases was 7.06 ± 0.85 mm preoperatively, which decreased to 2.26 ± 0.56 mm at the final follow-up. CMA improved from 103.80° ± 4.16° to 143.23° ± 7.47° postoperatively. CONCLUSION:With transnasal approach and lack of odontoidectomy, this method could not only treat IAAD safely and effectively, but also reduce the possibility of many complications associated with the traditional transoral approach and odontoidectomy.
