Effects of occipital-atlas stabilization in the upper cervical spine kinematics: an in vitro study
Abstract This study compares upper cervical spine range of motion (ROM) in the three cardinal planes before and after occiput-atlas (C0–C1) stabilization. After the dissection of the superficial structures to the alar ligament and the fixation of C2, ten cryopreserved upper cervical columns were man...
