Abstrakt: Wire breakage after a cervical occiput to C2 wire fixation and fusion resulted in the transural and intramedullary migration of a wire fragment in a patient who remained neurologically intact. The risks of sublaminar wiring fixation are discussed, along with newer techniques for posterior cervical stabilization.
