枢椎椎弓骨折的诊断和治疗

枢椎椎弓骨折是一种少见的上颈椎骨折,容易误诊。1971年～1989年,我院收治7例。诊断依据受伤史、临床特点及X线检查。治疗结果:优6例,良1例。作者探讨了以下3个问题:①损伤机制;②误诊原因及其防止方法;③关于治疗,大多数患者可以保守治愈。只有少数Ⅲ型骨折在非手术治疗失败后或合并有晚发性脊髓损伤时才需要手术治疗。

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF FRACTURE OF THE AXIS ARCH

The fracture of the axis arch is a rare uppercervical vertebrae fracture. It is easy to misdiag-nose. From 1971 to 1989, 7 cases of the fracturewere admitted to our hospital. Diagnoses were con-firmed by injury history, clinical features and X-ray films. The treatment results were as follows:six patients were in excellent condition and one pa-tient was in good one. The three following prob-lems were discussed: ①The mechanism of injury.②The misdiagnosis causes and its preventivemethods. ③Most patients can be treated conserva-tively and can be up. Only a few Type III fractureswill require operation after the failure of non-oper-ative treatment or at the time of conplicated injuryof the spinal cord occurring lately.
