Fusion Techniques for C1–C2 Instability

Abstract

C1–C2 instability, requiring atlantoaxial fusion, may result from a variety of conditions including trauma, congenital abnormalities, rheumatologic conditions, or tumors. The unique biomechanical complexities of the atlantoaxial junction have led to the development of several approaches to fixation and fusion of C1–C2. In this chapter, we will review the various fusion techniques available for C1–C2 instability, including their advantages and disadvantages, and provide an overview of surgical decision-making in atlantoaxial fusion.
