Fractured odontoid with fractured superior articular process of the axis. Report of three cases

F Signoret, JM Feron, H Bonfait, and A Patel

We report three patients in whom a fractured odontoid process was associated with a fracture of the superior articular process of the second cervical vertebra. Although there were no signs of neurological disorder, damage to the C1-C2 joint in all three patients made fusion necessary. Forced lateral flexion is suggested as the possible mechanism of injury.
