Expert’s comment concerning Grand Rounds case entitled “Traumatic atlantoaxial rotatory fixation in an adult patient” by MA García-Pallero, et al. (Eur Spine J, 2017; DOI 10.1007/s00586-016-4916-3)

[摘要] This interesting paper and literature review outline a rare cervical condition in adults of bilateral atlantoaxial rotational fxation (AARF) [1]. Importantly, AARF can present to most spinal practitioners, irrespective of a surgical or conservative training or learning, as a common biomechanical condition, post-trafc accident torticollis. AARF is not an uncommon event in younger age-groups and even occurs in infants.
