| Abstrakt: | Objective: To describe the indications and techniques for occipitocervical (OC) fixation. Methods: The operative nuances of current OC fixation techniques are described. A surgical technique video is included. Results: Pertinent literature is reviewed regarding OC fixation techniques. Conclusion: OC fixation systems have evolved from wire and cable techniques to plates, rods, and screws. Screw-rod constructs are easy to implant and biomechanically more rigid than wire techniques. |
