- Title
Successful treatment of atlantoaxial luxation using closed reduction.
- Authors
Grant, B.
- Abstract
The author discusses the treatment of atlantoaxial luxation using closed reduction in the case report by K. Gerlach and colleagues. He says that Salter fractures of the growth plate of dens or the anterior growth plate of the axis were noted in the majority of the cases that have extreme trauma of the atlas and axis. He notes that obtaining good images of grossly enlarged or distorted area and the use of digital equipment in literature search are some of the lessons to be learned from the case.
