Surgical treatment for atlantooccipital osteoarthritis: a case report of two patients

[摘要] Although rarely discussed in the literature and difficult to evaluate on plain radiographs, atlantooccipital osteoarthritis can be a source of persistent suboccipital pain. Our objective in this report is to describe two cases with atlantooccipital (O–C1) osteoarthritis treated with posterior occipitocervical fusion.
