This study aimed to explore radiographic differences in odontoid parameters between subjects with and without degenerative cervical spondylosis (DCS). Lateral cervical X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) from 51 healthy subjects (control group) and 107 DCS patients (case group) were retrospe...
