A novel method for treating type II odontoid fractures is presented. The use of a sintered titanium odontoid prosthetic could eliminate long healing times associated with external fixation methods, and the neurological deficits associated with non-union events in odontoid fracture treatment. Finite element experiments provide early indications that the axis vertebral body could accommodate a titanium odontoid prosthetic. Strain of 3.5 % and stresses of up to 10.5 MPa on the reamed opening of the axis vertebral body are considered as the local maximums. Conventional and emerging implant fixation and non-fouling techniques are also discussed.
