Minimally Invasive Surgery For Posterior Temporary Fixation Through Intermuscular Approach in the Treatment of Odontoid Fractures

Minimally invasive posterior temporary fixation through the intermuscular approach offers substantial benefits over traditional open surgery for odontoid fractures. These include reduced blood loss, lower postoperative pain, shorter recovery time, and better preservation of suboccipital musculature, all without compromising fracture healing. This technique provides an effective, muscle-sparing alternative for open temporary fixation in the treatment of odontoid fractures.
