“…CT angiography should be performed in patients with bony abnormalities because of the high rate of associated vascular anomalies in such patients. 25 PCIF is an effective option for surgical treatment of odontoid fractures, with higher fusion rates compared with AOSF and should be considered for patients where anterior techniques are contraindicated or for salvage after AOSF failure.…”

Odontoid fractures represent the most common fractures involving C2 and the most common cervical spine fractures in patients older than 65 years. Despite their increasing frequency, optimal management of these injuries remain a subject to debate. Although types I and III injuries have relatively good healing potential with nonsurgical treatment, type II fractures carry a higher risk for nonunion. In particular, elderly patients are at risk for nonunion or fibrous malunion after nonsurgical treatment; however, increased medical comorbidities and poor bone quality also increase the risks of surgery in this cohort. The high morbidity and mortality associated with these injuries has made it an area of particular interest among spine surgeons. The purpose of this review was to summarize the pathophysiology, evaluation, and diagnosis of these injuries and to review controversies in management and considerations for treatment based on the most recent available literature.
