Abstract

The paper presents the results of surgical treatment of 12 patients with stenosing processes of the vertebral canal at the craniovertebral transition due to chronic, unstable type 2 injuries of the C odontoid process (classification of fractures of odontoid process proposed in 1974 by Anderson and D’Alonzo). Patient examination included clinical-neurologic examination, review spondylograms of the cervical spine in 2 projections, MSCT, MRI. All patients were admitted to the clinic with external fixators (cervical support collar or Philadelphia collar). In the preoperative period, all patients were divided into 2 groups according to indications and contraindications for the application of the HALO-device. The first group consisted of 7 people, with cervical spine still fixed with the cervical support collar or Philadelphia collar, and the second group consisted of 5 patients with CII fracture fixed and corrected in the preoperative period by the HALO-device. All patients underwent surgical intervention – posterior approach decompression of the spinal canal and dural sack in the craniovertebral passage by CI laminectomy, partial resection of the posterior margin of the occipital aperture followed by the implementation of atlanto-axial occipitospondylodesis (a clamp with shape-memory effect for posterior occipitospondylodesis, OOO “MITS SPF”, Novokuznetsk, Russia). A comparative analysis of the results of surgical treatment of posttraumatic stenoses of the vertebral canal with and without the use of the HALO-traction device was performed. The results was better in the second group, which makes it possible to consider the second variant of surgical treatment more pathogenetically justified. Thus, HALO-traction restors anatomo-topographic relationships in the craniovertebral zone creating hard external fixation, helping to avoid intraoperative complications.
