Case study 133 | Type 2 odontoid fracture treated by Odontoid screw | explained by Dr. Betsy Grunch

Case study 133 - Type 2 Odontoid fracture (c2) treated by Odontoid screw An odontoid fracture is a break in the odontoid, a peg-like part of the second bone in the neck, or C2 vertebra. These fractures can be caused by trauma to the cervical spine, such as hyperflexion, extension, or shear forces. In younger people, high-energy trauma from accidents like diving, skiing, or motor vehicles can cause odontoid fractures. In older people, lower energy impacts like falls can cause them.  Odontoid fractures are one of the most common and controversial injuries to the cervical spine, and they can be associated with high rates of morbidity, mortality, and nonunion. #sundaycasestudy #ladyspinedoc #healthcareworker #hospital #surgery #neurosurgeon #medicalschool #medstudent #medicalstudent #nursing #elderly #spinefracture #brokenneck #c2fracture #densfracture #odontoidscrew
