To evaluate results and feasibility of primary posterior reduction and fixation without fusion using C1-C2 screw-rod system for odontoid fractures. This study comprised a consecutive series of 46 patients with odontoid fractures. Posterior reduction and fixation without fusion using the C1-C2 screw-...
