A simple, inexpensive, and rigid technique for occipitocervical fixation was evaluated in 14 patients with occipitocervical instability. Posterior arthrodeses of the occipitocervical region were performed using pelvic reconstruction plates and screws as internal fixation devices. At follow-up, which averaged 11.7 months, all patients had fused with minimal complications. This versatile technique, readily adapted to complex deformities and extensible for subaxial fixation, was reviewed.
对14例枕颈不稳患者评估了一种简单、廉价且坚固的枕颈固定技术。采用骨盆重建钢板和螺钉作为内固定装置对枕颈区域进行后路关节融合术。随访平均11.7个月时，所有患者均已融合，并发症极少。本文回顾了这种通用技术，它易于适应复杂畸形且可扩展用于下颈椎固定。
