Good patient-reported clinical outcomes to be expected after odontoid screw osteosynthesis despite a high Incidence of nonunion

Objectives and questions: Odontoid fractures are a common injury in geriatric patients. However, the management of Anderson-D’Alonzo Type 2 fractures remains controversial. While some authors advocate for conservative management of such fractures, prompt surgical treatment may reduce long-term [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
