Traumatic Atlanto-Occipital Rotatory Posterior Dislocation Combined with Atlanto-Axial Rotatory Subluxation: A Case Report / 대한척추외과학회지

ABSTRACT

Traumatic atlanto-occipital dislocation is usually fatal. To date, few cases have been reported in the literature because survival after traumatic atlanto-occipital dislocation is extremely rare. We present the case of a 47-year-old man with traumatic atlanto-occipital rotatory posterior dislocation combined with atlanto-axial rotatory subluxation and treated by occipito-cervical fusion using Bohlman's triple wiring technique.
