Objective: We aim to evaluate the posterior peduncle lag screw technique performed in our clinic for Hangman’s fracture type 2 and 2A fractures in comparison with the literature.
Method: Between 2017 and 2020, 7 patients with Hangman’s fracture were operated with the posterior C2 pedİcle lag screw method. The average age of the patients, 6 men and 1 female, was 32.6 and none of our patients had any other pathology other than cervical fracture.
Results: There were no post-operative complications in 7 patients who were operated. In the 3rd month of the follow-up of all patients, ossification was observed in the fracture line. Screw malposition and malunion were not observed.
Conclusion: The posterior pedicle lag screw fixation technique is a valuable technique in patients with Hangman’s fractures type 2 and 2A, as it is easy to apply, has less risk of complications, and preserves vertebral mobility.
