[[lateral mass screw]]s: directed laterally. Length is sized to fall short of foramen transversarium 3. [[C1–2 transarticular screw]]s: associated with more risk of VA injury 4. [[translaminar screw]]s: 1 year stability appears to be less than C2 pedicle screws when used for subaxial fusions, but was ≈ as effective for axial fusions (C1–2 or C1–3). May be useful as a “bail- out” for subaxial fusions when the C2 pars diameter is too small for pedicle screws. c2_screws.txt Last modified: 2024/06/07 02:55by 127.0.0.1
