Abstract:ObjectiveThe type of atlantodental space tissue in patients with atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD) can help doctors understand the possibility of reduction before surgery. However, relevant research on this topic is lacking. This study aimed to summarize cases of AAD, classified based on the atlantodental space using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and preliminarily explore its impact on the degree of reduction.MethodsPreoperative T2‐weighted MRIs and dynamic digital radiographs of patients who underwent poster… Show more
