Despite a comprehensive search, the review authors found no evidence from completed randomised controlled trials to inform the choice between surgical and conservative management. odontoid process fractures using 3.0-mm screws is highly effective in the Thai population. Relating to the toothlike odontoid process of the second cervical vertebra. The review aimed to examine the evidence from randomised controlled trials comparing surgical versus conservative treatment for these fractures to find if either approach gave a better outcome. The authors describe a rare clinical case of congenital malformation of the craniovertebral junction consisting of hypoplasia/agenesis of the odontoid process. Both of these conditions are associated with atlantoaxial instability. Another option is surgical stabilisation of the fractured parts. Radiographic features Plain radiograph On plain film, odontoid process agenesis appears small, as a slight depression on the superior articular facet on open mouth view or hypo genesis of basal segment of odontoid with floating apical process. Anomalies of the Odontoid process (also known by its other anatomical name - the dens) may range from complete absence (aplasia) to. People with these fractures are often treated conservatively, which entails stabilisation of the neck in devices such as a 'Halo' (external frame) and/or rigid collar for several months. In survivors there is a risk of ongoing damage to the spinal cord and paralysis. Fracture of the odontoid process is a serious injury and is often fatal. : These diseases involve a malformation of the second vertebral bone in the neck. Underneath this is the axis or second vertebra, which has a upward pointing process called the odontoid process around which the atlas can rotate, enabling the head to be turned. The first vertebra, called the atlas, supports the skull.
