The patient, a 53-year-old female, initially presented to the emergency department at an outside facility with acute alcohol intoxication and acute neck pain following a fall from a ladder. CT demonstrated bilateral C2 pars fractures and unstable posteroinferior displacement of the posterior elements. She underwent an emergent C2 open-reduction internal fixation (ORIF) at the outside facility with 3.5\u2009mm polyaxial synapse pedicle screws (DePuy Synthes, Switzerland). There were no known complications and the patient was discharged. Two years after the index operation, cervical CT scan at a different facility revealed that although the fracture was fully healed, bilateral tulip caps had detached from the pedicle screw heads at C2. All implants were removed without postoperative complications. Industry review of alternate lag screws approved for the cervical spine demonstrated that there is not currently an ideal implant for fixation of C2 fractures without fusion. Cannulated trauma screws, which are low profile and would have avoided the instrumentation failure seen here, are not currently FDA approved for the cervical spine.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/5824383","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,24]],"date-time":"2020-02-24T18:35:14Z","timestamp":1582569314000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Tulip-Screw Head Disjunction from Posterior C2 Fracture Fixation Instrumentation"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2020","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5837-1566","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Halle E.
