Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The management of type II odontoid fractures in geriatric trauma victims remains a source of substantial controversy. The purpose of this study was to compare anterior screw fixation with halo-vest-immobilization in patients with type II odontoid fractures.
