halo. We always place a shoulder roll between the shoulder blades to maximally extend the neck. To get a good AP view of the odontoid process, a radiolucent mouth gag is frequently used (a wine bottle cork can be notched into the teeth).
23.6 Operating Technique
23.6.1 Approach
• Lateral uoroscopy is used to ensure the proper trajec­tory; we place a K-wire along the neck of the patient to ensure that the sternum does not interfere with the screw placement.
• Once this is done, we inltrate the skin with epinephrine and perform a standard Cloward approach to the anterior

spine (see Fig.23.2).
• At the C5 level, we place a small unilateral midcervical incision in the skin crease. Then the platysma muscle is divided horizontally, and the plane between the pharynx and esophagus medially and the carotid sheath laterally is developed.
• We use blunt nger dissection to expose the cervical spine.
• The longus colli muscle is then incised and bilaterally elevated, and sharp-tooth cervical retractor blades are inserted rmly under these muscles and attached to a spe­cial retractor blade.
• Firm xation is important because a fair amount of ten­sion is placed on the retractor during the drilling and screw placement. After this retractor is placed, we use a Kittner dissector to sweep up the anterior cervical spine to approximately the level of C1.
• Once this dissection is completed, we place a superior angled retractor blade (see Fig.23.2). This blade should reach up approximately to C1. A choice of six different blades is available.
• This retractor blade is then connected via a special retrac­tor system to the lateral retractor blades. Once the retrac­tor is in place, a working tunnel is created for the drilling and placement of the odontoid screws.

ture: anterior oblique (a), posterior oblique (b), and horizontal (c)
23.6.2 Instrumentation
• Using a sharp K-wire, we nd the entry site at the inferior anterior edge of C2 on the lateral and AP uoroscopy (see Fig.23.3a). The entry point location is chosen based on whether one or two screws will be placed: If only one screw is placed, the entry point should be at the anterior

inferior edge of C2 at the midline. We place the entry point slightly laterally about 2–3mm off the midline if two screws are to be placed.
• The K-wire is then manipulated under biplanar uoros­copy and impacted approximately 5mm into the C2 ver­tebral body (see Fig.23.3a).
• Once the K-wire is impacted, we use a hollow cord drill that is passed over the K-wire, and a shallow groove is cut into the anterior face of C3 and the C2–3 annulus (Fig.23.3).
• We then put together the inner and outer drill guides and pass them over the K-wire. The outer drill guide has spikes (see Fig.23.4), which are carefully maneuvered over the C3 vertebral body under uoroscopy.
• At this point, the K-wire frequently needs to be shortened with a wire cutter since it protrudes over the inner tube guide. It is important to leave at least 1cm of the K-wire protruding beyond the inner tube guide in order to be able to remove it.
• The plastic impact sleeve is then tted over the guide wire assembly, and a mallet is used to impact the spikes into the C3 vertebral body (see Fig.23.5).
• The inner tube guide is then advanced until it contacts the inferior edge of C2. The surgeon at this point can manipu­late the handle and adjust the cervical spine to the appro­priate trajectory (see Fig.23.6).
• The K-wire then can be removed without loss of align­ment and positional stability. By lifting and depressing the guide tube assembly that is impacted into C3, the alignment between C1 and C2 can be carefully manipu­lated. If the odontoid process is retrolisthesed, the guide tube assembly can be depressed to get the optimal angle for drilling. This is monitored under uoroscopy.
• Next, the drill is inserted through the drill guide and through the C2 odontoid process under AP and lateral uoroscopy. The drill guide can be adjusted before the fracture site is crossed by depressing or elevating the C2–3 complex (see Fig.23.7).

• Once the desired alignment has been achieved, the drill can be advanced through the tip of the odontoid process. In osteoporotic bone, in particular, it is impor­tant that the drill is placed bicortically through the apical cortex, which will prevent back out of the screw.
• The appropriate screw length is determined from the cali­brated marks at the proximal end of the drill. A partially threaded screw is initially selected. Then, the drill is with­drawn, and a tap is inserted. In general, we tap the entire drill path bicortically through the tip of the odontoid pro­cess. The length of the screw can then be conrmed with the tap (see Fig.23.8).
• After the tap is removed, we place the titanium screw under bilateral uoroscopy until the distal cortex of the odontoid is fully engaged and sometimes draws back slightly to pull together the bone fragments. The “lag effect” assists with closing the fracture gap and the heal­ing process (see Fig.23.9).
• If a second screw is to be placed, the same process is repeated (see Fig.23.10).
• Then, the retractors are removed, and the muscle is lightly approximated with 3.0 absorbable stitches, and the skin is closed. We generally do not place drains. The immediate stability can be conrmed by extending and exing the neck under lateral uoroscopy.

24.1 Introduction and Core Messages
Anterior transarticular screw xation is a useful mini­mally invasive technique for achieving C1–2 stabiliza­tion. This chapter describes the anterior transarticular screw xation of the atlantoaxial joints using an ante­rior (Smith–Robinson) approach to the cervical spine. Cannulated or noncannulated screws can be inserted with a lateral angulation of 20° relative to the sagittal plane and a posterior angulation of 30° relative to the coronal plane. The advantages of this method are immediate stability, the elimination of external ortho­sis, and cost-effectiveness. This form of anterior trans­articular screw xation is as stable and rigid as posterior transarticular screw xation [14].
24.2 Indications [58]
• Atlantoaxial instabilities (acute and chronic)
• C1–2 instability in cases where a posterior approach is impossible
• Failure of previous posterior treatment
• C1 type II odontoid combination fracture [5]
24.3 Contraindications
• Fracture of the C1–2 joint complex
• Vertebral artery with atypical course
• Some cases where neck is very short or thick
• Some cases with high barrel-shaped thorax
24.4 Equipment
Two C-arms for simultaneous anteroposterior and lateral uoroscopy are essential for this technique. The settings and other equipment, and the operative approach, are the same as those for osteosynthesis using expansion screws (e.g., posi­tioning device, rechargeable drill, appropriate screws for small fragments, Synthes odontoid screw system).

24.5 Planning, Preparation,
andPositioning
The planning of the operation requires a CT to ensure that the C1–2 joint complex is intact (look out for rotational malalignment). The patient is put in a supine position, and the head is stabilized using a Mayeld headholder. Two C-arms are necessary to identify the anatomical structures of the upper cervical spine in the anteroposterior and lateral

projections (see Fig.24.1a, b). The site of the incision (usu­ally at the C4/C5 level) is determined by placing a K-wire along the side of the neck in the intended direction of the screw and viewing it with the image intensier (see Fig.24.2).
24.6 Surgical Technique
24.6.1 Approach
• A transverse skin incision is recommended as, in most cases, only one segment is involved (for C3/C4, two n-
gerbreadths caudal to the mandible at the level of the lin­gual bone; for C4/C5, at the level of the Adam’s apple).
• Using a routine anterior approach to the cervical spine at the C4–5 level, the anterior side of the C2 vertebral body is exposed.
• The platysma is cut, and the supercial nuchal fascia is exposed. This is then cut longitudinally at the anterior edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
• The sternocleidomastoid muscle is then moved to the side, exposing the two longus colli muscles beneath.
• Blunt dissection is carried out in the prevertebral facial plane using a side sweeping motion with a small gauze pad. Exposure of the upper half of C3 and the lower half
