A Biomechanical Comparison of Alternatives to C2 Pedicle Screws
The medial in-out-in and subfacetal trajectories represent viable alternatives for C1-2 stabilization in anatomically constrained cases, such as a high-riding vertebral artery or a narrow C2 pedicle. These novel techniques may expand surgical options for achieving robust C2 fixation.
