Function-preserving Reduction and Fixation of Unstable Jefferson Fractures Using a C1 Posterior Limited Construct

Abstract: C1 posterior limited construct is a valid technique and a feasible method for treating unstable Jefferson fractures, which allows preservation of the function of the craniocervical junction, without significant morbidity.

“…28 In a retrospective study, Hu et al proved the effectiveness and feasibility of that technique showing that this surgical technique has no effect on postoperative range of motion of the cervical spine. 29 This agrees with the postoperative functional outcome described in our case series.…”

“…Whereas most isolated C1 ring fractures with mild or no dislocation of the lateral mass can be treated conservatively by a collar or a halo brace for 3 months, there is still discussion about how to treat unstable fractures with dislocation of the lateral mass of more than 7 mm or disruption of the transverse ligament [ 1 , 5 ]. Some authors still favour a fusion of C1–C2, others are recommending a transoral approach to fix C1 fractures with plates or a rod [ 8 , 10 ]. The posterior ring osteosynthesis offers enough stability for healing of bony injuries of C1 and should therefore be preferred especially in young patient to preserve the function of the atlantoaxial joint and a physiological range of motion.…”

“…For pure atlas fractures, a possible alternative is isolated atlas osteosynthesis through a posterior approach (▶ Fig. 7) [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. This procedure has the advantage that mobility between CI and CII is maintained.…”
