Objectives and Background: To present a novel technique of treatment for a patient with
basilar invagination. Basilar invagination (BI) is a congenital condition that can compress the …

Occipitocervical instability is a life threatening and disabling disorder caused by a myriad of
pathologies. Restoring the anatomical integrity and stability of the occipitocervical junction …

Craniovertebral junction (CVJ) deformity is a challenging pathology that can result in
progressive deformity, myelopathy, severe neck pain, and functional disability, such as …

OBJECTIVE The segmental occipital condyle screw (OCS) is an alternative fixation
technique in occipitocervical fusion. A thorough morphological study of the occipital condyle …

Purpose Disorders in occipitocervical region are difficult to treat. Complications often occur
after fusion surgery and may be life-threatening in severe cases. This study is to investigate …

Objective Patients who undergo decompression surgery for Chiari malformation frequently
require occipitocervical fixation. This is typically performed with occipital plates, which may …

Abstract Purpose The occipital condyles (OCs) are crucial anatomical structures in the
cranial base. To our knowledge, there is no cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) …

Study Design. Finite element analysis. Objective. To determine and compare the construct
stability of occipitoatlantoaxial (C0–C1–C2) fixation provided by occipital plate, rod, and …

Previous studies indicate that maximum upper cervical axial rotation occurs only through a
combination of transverse, frontal, and sagittal plane motions. This study explores the …

Objective Although many studies have investigated the benefits of multimodal intraoperative
monitoring (MIOM) during cervical spine surgery, the benefits of MIOM in craniovertebral …
