| Popis: | 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. |
