ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

The authors present 14 cases of C1 C2 dislocations in children (8 boys and 6 girls; mean age, 6.9 years) seen at the Orthopedics and Traumatology Institute of the University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, University of Säo Paulo from 1978 to 1990. In view of the disappointing results obtained by conservative treatment in 6 of the 14 patients, the authors recommend early atlanto-axial arthrodesis in cases of C1 C2 dislocation in children
