Data on pre\u2010 and post\u2010operative neurologic status, surgical technique, and complications were retrieved. Follow\u2010up evaluation was performed at approximately 1 month. Telephone interview of the owner was used for long\u2010term assessment (median follow\u2010up for 17 surviving dogs was 10.5 months).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2014<\/jats:bold> Adequate reduction and stabilization was achieved in all dogs based on radiographic assessment immediately after surgery. Improved neurologic outcome occurred in 16 dogs at 1 month and in 15 dogs at follow\u2010up; 2 dogs died of post\u2010operative complications within 24 hours of surgery. One dog was euthanatized at the owners' request because of recurrent neck pain associated with implant failure after 1 month. Two dogs required surgery to remove broken and migrated implants, but further stabilization was not necessary.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2014<\/jats:bold> Adequate stabilization and improved neurologic outcome was achieved in most dogs. However, on account of the small size of the study and the variable neurologic signs of the dogs on admission, the surgical technique described could not be compared to those previously reported.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Clinical Relevance\u2014<\/jats:bold> The surgical technique described is an effective means of surgical treatment for atlantoaxial subluxation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-950x.2004.04050.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,7,9]],"date-time":"2004-07-09T13:19:24Z","timestamp":1089379164000},"page":"349-354","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":55,"title":["A Modified Ventral Fixation for Surgical Management of Atlantoaxial Subluxation in 19 Dogs"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Simon R.","family":"Platt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jonathon N.","family":"Chambers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alan","family":"Cross","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,7,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-950X.1991.tb00348.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1748-5827.1967.tb04500.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1748-5827.1980.tb01239.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","first-page":"400","article-title":"Odontoid dysplasia with atalntoaxial instability in a dog","volume":"25","author":"Johnson SG","year":"1989","journal-title":"J Am Anim Hosp Assoc"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1748-5827.1971.tb06255.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","first-page":"235","article-title":"Atlantoaxial subluxation and absence of transverse ligament of the atlas in a dog","volume":"195","author":"Watson AG","year":"1989","journal-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","first-page":"215","article-title":"Atlantoaxial subluxation in dogs","volume":"17","author":"McCarthy RJ","year":"1995","journal-title":"Compend Contin Educ Pract Vet"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","first-page":"1104","article-title":"Risk factors affecting the outcome of surgery for atlantoaxial subluxation in dogs","volume":"216","author":"Beaver DP","year":"2000","journal-title":"46 cases (1978\u20131998)"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","first-page":"37","article-title":"Atlantoaxial subluxation in the dog","volume":"29","author":"Denny HR","year":"1988","journal-title":"a review of thirty cases and an evaluation of treatment by lag screw fixation"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","first-page":"22","article-title":"Atlantoaxial instability","volume":"10","author":"Sorjonen DC","year":"1981","journal-title":"a ventral surgical technique for decompression, fixation, and fusion"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","first-page":"317","article-title":"Application of ventral pins and polymethylmethacrylate for the management of atlantoaxial instabiity","volume":"26","author":"Schulz KS","year":"1997","journal-title":"results in nine dogs"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","first-page":"61","article-title":"Cervical stabilization in three dogs using Steinmann pins and methylmethacrylate","volume":"24","author":"Blass CE","year":"1988","journal-title":"J Am Anim Hosp Assoc"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_2","first-page":"109","volume-title":"Small Animal Spinal Disorders.
