| Abstrakt: | Odontoid fractures remain the most common C2 fracture and of those individuals older than 65 years. The type of optimal management remains in question given comorbidities, risk of nonunion, and limitations in mobility when surgical fusion is the treatment selected. These fractures are of particular importance, given the high incident of morbidity and mortality following an odontoid fracture. Overall quality of life remains a significant consideration when selecting the best intervention following careful examination and confirmation with radiographic imaging. The literature continues with controversies in the best treatment interventions for these fractures, resulting in a case-by-case decision-making process.
