The technique involves forcible impaction of spiked titanium metal spacers and bone grafts within the distracted atlantoaxial facet joints. Between January 2003 and January 2006, four patients underwent this method of fixation at the Department of Neurosurgery at King Edward Memorial Hospital in Mumbai, India. All four patients had posttraumatic mobile and reducible atlantoaxial dislocation. The mean follow-up period was 16 months (range 5\u201335 months). Successful atlantoaxial stabilization along with ultimate bone fusion was achieved in all patients and was documented on dynamic radiographs. There were no neurological, vascular, or infection-associated complications.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p>The author concludes that the described method of atlantoaxial fixation provides an alternative treatment strategy. \u201cJoint jamming\u201d as a stand-alone method or in combination with other fixation methods may provide firm stabilization in cases of atlantoaxial dislocation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/spi-07\/07\/090","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,24]],"date-time":"2008-01-24T13:17:51Z","timestamp":1201180671000},"page":"90-94","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":65,"title":["Atlantoaxial joint jamming as a treatment for atlantoaxial dislocation: a preliminary report"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Atul","family":"Goel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1-0070090","series-title":"Neurol India","first-page":"178","article-title":"Vertebral artery in relationship to C1\u2013C2 vertebrae: an anatomical study","volume":"52","author":"Cacciola","year":"2004"},{"key":"b2-0070090","series-title":"Neurol India","first-page":"427","article-title":"Craniovertebral anomalies: role for craniovertebral realignment","volume":"52","author":"Goel","year":"2004"},{"key":"b3-0070090","series-title":"Spine","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"E551","DOI":"10.1097\/01.brs.0000179414.64741.7b","article-title":"Progressive basilar invagination after transoral odontoidectomy: treatment by atlantoaxial facet distraction and craniovertebral realignment","volume":"30","author":"Goel","year":"2005"},{"key":"b4-0070090","series-title":"J Neurosurg Spine","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"281","DOI":"10.3171\/spi.2004.1.3.0281","article-title":"Treatment of basilar invagination by atlantoaxial joint distraction and direct lateral mass fixation","volume":"1","author":"Goel","year":"2004"},{"key":"b5-0070090","series-title":"Neurosurgery","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1351","DOI":"10.1097\/00006123-200212000-00004","article-title":"Atlantoaxial fixation using plate and screw method: a report of 160 treated patients","volume":"51","author":"Goel","year":"2002"},{"key":"b6-0070090","series-title":"J Neurosurg Spine","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"505","DOI":"10.3171\/spi.2005.2.4.0505","article-title":"Reduction of fixed atlantoaxial dislocation in 24 cases: technical note","volume":"2","author":"Goel","year":"2005"},{"key":"b7-0070090","series-title":"Acta Neurochir (Wien)","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"47","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01400872","article-title":"Plate and screw fixation for atlantoaxial dislocation.
