Comparison of crossed and parallel rod configurations used in posterior occipitocervical and atlantoaxial fixations: a retrospective cohort study
The application of a crossed rod configuration in posterior occipitocervical and atlantoaxial fixations provides good clinical applicability. Although this technique has a relatively weaker reduction force, it has greater fixation stability and a higher rate of early bone fusion. This technique could be an easy and viable alternative to the current parallel rod configuration for upper cervical surgery.
