“…Treatment of pin complications is often straightforward and can be achieved by repositioning the pins or by surgical debridement and antibiotic therapy. However, there is also evidence in the literature of rare and serious complications, such as intracranial abscesses and the occurrence of pneumocranium [22,23], which were not observed in our study.…”

“…chirurgisches Débridement und antibiotische Therapie oft unkompliziert möglich. Jedoch bestehen in der Literatur auch Hinweise auf seltene schwerwiegende Komplikationen wie intrakranielle Abszesse und das Auftreten eines Pneumokraniums [22] [23], die in unserer Studie nicht beobachtet wurden.…”

“…For isolated atlas fractures, conservative treatment is the main method, but for unstable atlas fractures, surgical treatment is still the preferred method. [ 19 ] It is widely accepted that surgery is indicated for atlas fracture associated with atlantooccipital instability, intraligamentous rupture of the TAL, and for “unstable” atlas fracture. [ 3 , 20 ] At present, there are several surgical methods with osteosynthesis for the treatment of unstable fractures, such as transoral approach anterior C1-ring plate osteosynthesis, posterior osteosynthesis with a lateral mass screw rod, and posterior C1 to C2 fusion and C0 to C2 fusion.…”

“…ハローベスト装着時のピン関連の合併症として,①ピン刺入部の感染,②ピン刺入部軟部組織の神経・血管損傷,③ピン穿孔による頭蓋内組織損傷などが挙げられる 1), 2),Glaserらによれば,ハローベストのピン刺入部に関連する合併症を検討した結果,245例中14例であり,その中で頭蓋骨穿通は稀であるとしている 1)。同様に,本邦の報告では,133例中3例(2.3%)に頭蓋内合併症(膿瘍形成2例,気脳症1例)があったとしている 3)。我々が渉猟した限り,ピン固定による頭蓋内穿通を報告した症例報告は11編あり 4), 5), 6), 7), 8), 9), 10), 11), 12), 13), 14),そのうち,本邦からの報告は5編であった 10), 11), 12), 13), 14)。慢性腎不全による血液透析歴のある症例が1例含まれており,同症例では骨粗鬆症も合併していた。慢性腎臓病患者,とくに血液透析歴がある患者の骨折は一般人口と比較して多いことが既に臨床研究で明らかとなっている 15)。そして,その理由として骨粗鬆症の合併が多いことも指摘されている 16)。本症例でも透析歴があったため,骨粗鬆症の合併を疑い,骨密度検査を行ったが,骨粗鬆症は指摘できなかった。…”
