Types of high-riding vertebral artery: a classification system for preoperative planning of C2 instrumentation based on 908 potential screw insertion sites
We present the first classification system for the high-riding vertebral artery distinguishing 3 types based on the large homogenous cohort, which may serve as an adjunct to preoperative planning of C2 instrumentation. External validation of this classification scheme shall determine its further clinical utility.
