Management of chronic atlantoaxial dislocation.

Twenty-two patients with chronic atlantoaxial dislocation have been treated. Of 13 patients with a reducible dislocation by skeletal traction, 12 underwent successful posterior infusion of the first, second and third cervical vertebrae. Of nine patients with irreducible dislocation, eight underwent surgical reduction and fusion through the transoral approach. The reduction was successful in all eight, but fusion was accomplished in four.
