Abstract
|
|
|
|
Although most cases of C2 traumatic spondylolisthesis, a so called Hangman´s fracture, can be managed by a closed reduction and immobilization, surgery should be considered in the cases of non-reducible fractures or a recurrent subluxation. This report details our recent experience with the surgical treatment of a Type II Hangman´s fracture after an unsuccessful closed reduction. Advantage and the technique of the posterior short segment fixation are discussed.
