Robot-Assisted Percutaneous Lag Screw Osteosynthesis for C1 Lateral Mass Fractures: Case Series and Technical Note.

Journal: World neurosurgery
PMID: 36739898

Abstract

BACKGROUND: C1 lateral mass fractures (LMF) cause abnormal alignment of the upper cervical joints. Conservatively treated cases can develop into late cock-robin junction, requiring a reconstructive surgical procedure of the occipitocervical junction. Partial coronal C1 LMF could be effectively fixed with lag screws. Navigation and robot-assisted techniques have made percutaneous fixation possible and are gradually being used in the upper cervical spine.
