Abstract
By an anterior approach, six pathologic dens fractures were stabilized with screws and methyl methacrylate cement. All the patients had immediate pain relief and could be mobilized without external support. Using the anterior approach, the tumor can be removed and the instability neutralized at the site of the lesion.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
