| Abstract |
To report a case of complex odontoid fracture malunion accompanied by atlantoaxial dislocation which was treated with a new surgical approach. A 53-year-old female was admitted due to progressive symptoms with a stiff limp and unsteady gait. Preoperative examination, diagnostic radiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging were performed following admission. The examinations showed odontoid fracture malunion, an old right axial zygapophyseal fracture, atlantoaxial dislocation, and spinal cord injury. Anterior submandibular retropharyngeal odontoid osteotomy and posterior atlantoaxial fusion were then performed. Good reduction of the atlantoaxial dislocation was gained. The cervical spinal cord compression was significantly relieved and neurological function was also significantly improved. Anterior submandibular retropharyngeal odontoid osteotomy and posterior atlantoaxial fusion fixation is an effective method for treating IAAD associated with odontoid fracture malunion, it avoids the adverse effects of anterior transoral odontoid osteotomy and provides a new option for the treatment of odontoid fracture malunion associated with atlantoaxial dislocation. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 July 2018.
All research outputs
#17,985,001
of 23,096,849 outputs
Outputs from European Spine Journal
#2,294
of 4,686 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#227,198
of 317,606 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Spine Journal
#44
of 61 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,096,849 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,686 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 317,606 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 61 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
