Abstract

Amaç
Kliniğimize başvuran odontoid kırıklı hastalara uyguladığımız
tedavi yaklaşımlarını literatür eşliğinde sunmayı
amaçladık.
Gereç ve Yöntem
Kliniğimize başvuran odontoid kırıklı 18 hasta retrospektif
olarak değerlendirildi. Hastaların 6’sı kadın,
12’si erkek ve yaş ortalamaları 45,5 (16-87) idi. 7 hastada
Tip 1, 4 hastada Tip 2, 7 hastada Tip 3 kırık tespit
edildi. Tip 1 kırık tespit edilen hastaların %86’sı (n=6),
tip 3 kırık tespit edilen hastaların %57’si (n=4) konservatif
takip edilirken, tip 2 kırıkların tümüne anterior
odontoid vidalama, tip 3 kırıklı 1 hastaya posterior
artrodez uygulandı. Konservatif tedavi edilen hastaların
6’sında Halo-Vest, 3’ünde Philadelphia boyunluk,
2’sinde sterno-oksipito-mandibüler immobilizasyon
(SOMİ) kullanıldı.
Bulgular
Konservatif takip edilen 11 hastadan 7’sinde (%64)
füzyon izlenirken, 4’ünde (%36) füzyon gelişmemesi
üzerine cerrahi planlandı. Hastalardan 2’si şikayetlerinin
olmaması nedeni ile cerrahiyi kabul etmedi.
Anterior cerrahi yapılan 1 hastada vida malpozisyonu
görülerek posterior oksipitoservikal füzyon yapıldı.
Sonuç
Odontoid kırıklarında tedaviye karar verirken fraktür
tipi ve hasta yaşı dikkate alınmalıdır. Cerrahi teknik
belirlenirken klinik iyileşmenin yanısıra füzyon oranı
da önemlidir. Anterior vidalama hareketin daha iyi korunabilmesi
için genç hastalarda; mekanik yetmezlikle
karşılaşmamak ve diğer komplikasyonları en aza
indirebilmek amacıyla posterior füzyon ileri yaşlı hastalarda
tercih edilmelidir. Ancak halen uygun tedavi
stratejisi net değildir.

ODONTOID FRACTURE MANAGEMENT: CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

Abstract

Objective
We aimed to report the treatment approaches we
administered to the patients admitted to our clinic for
odontoid fracture, accompanied by literature.
Material and Methods
Eighteen patients with odontoid fracture who admitted
to our clinic were evaluated retrospectively. Six
patients were female, twelve patients were male and
the mean age was 45,5 (16-87). Type 1 fracture in
7 patients, Type 2 fracture in 4 patients and Type 3
fractures in 7 patients were determined. As 86% of the
patients with type 1 fracture, and 57% of the patients
with type 3 fracture were treated conservatively, all
patients with type 2 fracture treated with anterior
odontoid screw and in 1 patient with type 3 fracture
posterior arthrodesis was performed. Six of the
conservatively treated patients used Halo-Vest, 3 of
them used Philadelphia cervical collar, and 2 of them
used sterno-occipito-mandibular immobilizer (SOMI).
Results
Fusion was occurred in 7 patients (64%) of 11
patients, who treated conservatively, and in the 4
patients (36%) surgery was planned as non-fusion
was occurred. Two of these patients with no symptoms
did not accept surgery. In one patient, with anterior
surgery, posterior occipitocervical fusion was done as
screw malposition was seen.
Conclusion
In decision making of the odontoid fractures, type of the
fracture and age of the patient should be considered.
As deciding the surgical technique beside clinical
improvement, fusion rate is also important. In the
elder patients anterior screwing should be preferred
to conserve mobility; in the older patients posterior
fusion should be preferred not to have mechanical
deficiency and to minimize the other complications.
However appropriate treatment strategy is still not
clear.
