The nonunion of type II odontoid fractures is still a major problem especially in elderly and osteoporotic patients. Eleven osteoporotic type II odontoid fracured patients were presented in this article. MATERIAL and METHODS: We have divided 11 patients in two groups as classical and Ozer's technique.We have also compared (radiologically and clinically) the classical anterior transodontoid screw fixation (group II: 6 cases) and Ozer's transodontoid screw fixation technique (group I: 5 cases) retrospectively. RESULTS: There was no difference regaring the clinical features of the groups. However, the radiological results showed 100% fusion for Ozer's screw fixation technique and 83% fusion for the classical screw fixation technique. CONCLUSION; In conclusion, we suggest that Ozer's technique may help to increase the fusion capacity for osteoporotic type II odontoid fractures.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCervicalFractureOdontoid fracturesOsteoporosisPseudoarthrosisArticle25226927210.5137/1019-5149.JTN.9083-13.1Q4WOS:0003529285000122-s2.0-8492872038323643526014011Q3
