Abstract
Background null The management of basilar invagination (BI) and atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD) is a challenge. null Objective null To describe a new innovative method to reduce BI and AAD through a single-stage posterior approach. null Methods null Thirty-five patients had irreducible BI and AAD (May 2010 to April 2012). In all patients, reduction of AAD and BI was achieved by using an innovative method of distraction and spacer placement,...
