Neurological function assessed with American Spine Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale. Radiological fusion of the operated segment assessed with computed tomographic scan, criteria used for successful fusion included formation of callus across the fracture. Preservation of rotational motion between C1 and C2 was assessed by cervical flexion rotation (CFR) test.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We included 10 patients (male\/female: 9\/1; mean 47.7 \u00b1 17.5 years) in our study. Operative intervention was performed in 9 patients. We used intraoperative computed tomogram (CT) scan with navigation in 5 patients. The mean follow-up period was 28.7 months (range 6 to 70 months). Neurological recovery occurred in all 4 patients with preoperative neurological deficits. Radiological fusion occurred in all cases. Rotation at C1-2 was preserved in all 5 cases operated under O-arm guidance and in one patient with type 1 fracture who was managed conservatively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The goals in treating these complex fractures are to achieve early maximum stability and preserving maximum range of motion.
