Researchers noted indications for lateral mass fixation in the cervical spine are the same as those for posterior cervical fixation, such as when increased stability is needed after complex ...

Under general anaesthesia, the patient is placed in the prone position and standard posterior exposure of the cervical spine is performed. Screws are inserted into the lateral masses of C1 and fixed ...

The head and neck examination was remarkable for two palpable, nontender, fixed lateral neck masses, one on each side. The larger of the two masses measured approximately 3 x 2 cm in diameter.

Evidence-based recommendations on direct C1 lateral mass screw for cervical spine stabilisation. This involves using screws to fix the bones together to treat atlantoaxial fusion in the neck. This ...
