Análise do diâmetro transverso do processo odontoide com uso da tomografia computadorizada

Abstract: INTRODUÇÃO: o diâmetro reduzido do odontoide é um desafio para o cirurgião no planejamento pré-operatório e escolha na fixação da fratura com um ou dois parafusos. OBJETIVO: analisar a medida do diâmetro transverso (DT) do processo odontoide por meio da tomografia computadorizada para o planejamento pré-operatório da osteossíntese com um ou dois parafusos. MÉTODOS: foram analisadas 79 tomografias computadorizadas cervicais de pacientes adultos, sem deformidades congênitas ou queixas de dor em coluna cervical a… Show more

“…In addition, fixation with a screw in the anterior region in a fracture of the odontoid process achieves high rates of consolidation with few complications, especially in young patients (< 60 years of age). Soejima et al 16 showed that CT is useful in measuring the transverse diameter of the odontoid process, and that fixation with two 3.5 mm cortical screws would be possible in most of the men and women analyzed.…”
