Does isolated atlantoaxial fusion result in better clinical outcome compared to occipitocervical fusion?

Katharina E Wenning | Martin F Hoffmann
Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research | 2020

The C0 to C2 region is the keystone for range of motion in the upper cervical spine. Posterior procedures usually include a fusion of at least one segment. Atlantoaxial fusion (AAF) only inhibits any motion in the C1/C2 segment whereas occipitocervical fusion (OCF) additionally interferes with the C0/C1 segment. The purpose of our study was to investigate clinical outcome of patients that underwent OCF or AAF for upper cervical spine injuries.
