Overview

Retrospective study shows improved clinical outcomes in patients undergoing occipito-cervical fusion, suggesting effective stabilization.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the efficacy of multiple rod constructs in occipito-cervical fusion for improving clinical and radiological outcomes.
  • Retrospective observational study with 10 patients
  • Procedure involved navigation-guided cervical pedicle screw fixation and multiple rod constructs
  • Clinical and radiological parameters assessed pre-operatively and post-operatively at 12 months.
  • All patients showed improvement in clinical and radiological outcomes
  • No implant failures reported
  • Bony trabeculae formation observed in all patients on follow-up CT scans.
