Presently used polyaxial screw and rod systems have inadvertent technical difficulties in rod fitting and reduction of atlantoaxial dislocations (AAD) requiring forceful joint handling. The purpose of this study is to analyze the use of a specially designed \u201creduction screw\u201d in C1 lateral mass in C1-C2 fixation for treating AAD with or without basilar invagination (BI).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Study Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is a retrospective cohort study in which long lateral mass reduction screws were used for C1-C2 fixation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eighteen patients diagnosed with congenital AAD with or without BI treated with C1-C2 fixations using C1 reduction lateral mass were included in the study.

Among 18 cases of AAD, 84% (15\/18) of patients have BI, 22% (4\/18) have Chiari Type 1 malformation, and one patient has Klipple\u2013Feil syndrome. Symptomatic improvement is noted in all patients following surgery. Adequate reduction of AAD with normalization of radiological indices was also achieved in all 18 (100%) patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
