Figure 1

A 36-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital due to neck pain and restricted neck motion as well as incomplete limbs paralysis from traffic accidents. Cervical spine 3D-CT scanning (A) and CT scanning in the coronal plane (B) showed that this patient suffered Jefferson combined with type II odontoid fractures. The patient underwent the posterior atlantoaxial pedicle screw internal fixation under general anesthesia (C, D). At 12 months of follow-up, the 3D-CT scanning showed that the fracture was healed and the graft was fused (E, F).
