Endoscope-Assisted Anterior Odontoid Screw Fixation for Odontoid Fracture

AOS fixation is advocated for managing unstable odontoid fractures and providing strength and fracture union rates without impending cervical motion. Incorporating minimally invasive approaches, particularly endoscopic techniques, has garnered interest. The novel endoscope-assisted AOS fixation method, unlike prior approaches, begins with endoscopic guidance and minimal incisions, potentially reducing the risk of neurovascular injury. This novel technique shows promise as an effective strategy for addressing unstable odontoid fractures.
