The Feasibility of Anterior Occipital Condyle Screw for the Reconstruction of Craniovertebral Junction: A Digital Anatomical and Cadaveric Study of a Novel Technique
Abstract:Background: Anterior occipital condyle screw (AOCS) could be a feasible technique apply to the reconstruction of craniovertebral junction. This study was to analyze the feasibility of AOCS.Method: The craniovertebral junction computed tomography (CT) scans of 40 adults were enrolled and imported into Mimics software. Then the three-dimensional reconstruction digital model of craniovertebral junction were established to determine entry point, insertion angle and screw’s trajectory. After AOCS inserted into ten … Show more
