A posterior occipitocervical fusion with a novel fixation device developed at Sytenko Institute for Spine and Joints Pathology and a technology of its application have been biomechanically substantiated. The analysis of surgeries in 6 patients with upper cervical spine injuries and disorders was performed. The results were assessed as excellent in 3 patients and good in 3 ones. Some criteria for comprehensive estimation of clinical effectiveness of surgeries performed were proposed.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the frequency and types of upper cervical spine injuries in asymptomatic elderly patients undergoing computed tomography (CT) for the investigation of minor head trauma. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study of 2613 asymptomatic elderly patients with minor head trauma seen between January 2015 and December 2016. We adopted a dedicated head CT protocol that included the C1-C2 region. Results: Of the 2613 patients analyzed, 33 (1.26%) had upper cervical spine injuries, corresponding to 8.37% of the 394 patients with trauma-related findings. Of those 33 patients, 6 had C1 fractures and 27 had C2 fractures. The use of 16- and 128-slice scanners increased the CT dose by 25.0% and 23.7%, respectively. Conclusion: Inclusion of the C1-C2 region in head CT scans allowed us to identify upper cervical spine injuries in 1.26% of asymptomatic elderly patients with minor head trauma. The protocol evaluated helps detect potentially life-threatening injuries and could be adopted for routine use in elderly individuals with minor head trauma.

Comprehensive diagnostics, accepted classifications, and selection of pathogenetic methods of treatment (including surgery) for axis injuries, odontoid process fractures, axis traumatic spondylolisthesis and hangman’s fractures are discussed in the paper. The presented data prove the necessity and possibility of early exhaustive diagnosing to differentiate the type of a craniocervical disorder and to provide a timely choice of pathogenetic treatment technique, especially of a surgical one.
