Popis:	Controversy exists as to the most effective management option for elderly patients with type II odontoid fractures. Furthermore, outcomes for patients who do not achieve fusion or fracture healing after treatment remain unclear in the literature. The purpose of this study is to evaluate fracture-healing rates, functional outcomes, complications, and mortality associated with rigid cervical collar and posterior fusion surgery (PSF) for the management of geriatric type II odontoid fractures.
