A comprehensive analysis of traumatic atlanto-occipital and atlanto-axial dislocations: A case series from a level one trauma center
This study emphasizes the severity of AOD and AAD traumatic injuries. Despite advances in management, these injuries remain highly lethal and result in significant disability for survivors. Our findings emphasize the need for improved diagnostic protocols and early intervention strategies. Future research should focus on multicenter studies to validate current literature and explore novel therapeutic approaches to improve patient outcomes.
