Kinematics of the cervical spine was investigated using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images combined with three dimensions to three dimensions (3D-3D) registration technology in patients after anterior odontoid screw fixation (AOSF) surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate in vivo 3...
