Facet-occiput slope angle: A novel predictor of cage placement feasibility during surgery in basilar invagination patients

Facet-occiput slope angle: A novel predictor of cage placement feasibility during surgery in basilar invagination patients

Background and aim: Direct posterior reduction and manipulation of the C1-2 joints, accompanied by placement of spacers, is the state-of-the-art technique for treating basilar invagination (BI) and atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD). The hindrance of occiput to reaching up to the true atlantoaxial facet...
