1 Traumatic Spndyllisthesis f the Axis (aka Hangman s Fracture): Carl Bellabarba, MD Prfessr Department f Orthpaedics & Sprts Medicine Department f Neurlgical Surgery University f Washingtn Schl f Medicine Acting Chief f Orthpaedics Harbrview Medical Center Seattle, WA Demgraphics: 5% f all C-spine fractures Bimdal distributin High energy injuries in yunger patients Lw energy injuries in elderly patients Classificatin Effendi Classificatin, mdified by Levine & Edwards 5 types described 3 primary types 2 subtypes Primary Type I: Minimally displaced (<3mm) Cnfirm with upright xrays t distinguish frm Type II Type II: Hyperextensin mechanism causes pincer effect & vertical pars fracture Disruptin f PLL resulting in >3mm f subluxatin Mst cmmn type Type III: Assciated C2-3 facet dislcatin Either unilateral r bilateral Behaves mre like subaxial jumped facet injury Risk f neurlgical injury C2 pars fracture cmpnent usually nn- r minimally displaced (Type I) Subtypes: Type IA (Atypical) Catch-all categry with range f fracture patterns Typically blique transverse plane fracture thrugh C2 pars & bdy n ppsite sides
2 Risk f neurlgical Injury May behave unpredictably with nnperative treatment Type IIA Flexin-distractin injury pattern Kyphtic angulatin ut f prprtin with degree f translatin Extent has never been specifically defined Fracture cmpnent generally mre transverse than Type II Evaluatin: Radigraphic: Plain radigraphs False negative rate as high as 40% Upright radigraphs may help distinguish stability (eg Type I vs Type II) CT scan mst reliable Assciated injuries Vertebral artery framen invlvement MRI rle uncertain C2-3 disc disruptin Assciated ligamentus injury CTA/MRA Cntrversial VAI reprted in up t ~25% f patients Distractive injuries & fxs invlving vertebral framina Significance? Clinical: Neurlgical injuries uncmmn with Hangman s fractures Injury patterns that cause canal cmprmise represent highest risk: Type III injuries (assciated facet dislcatin) Type 1A (atypical) fractures - asymmetric bdy/pars fracture Type II injuries with severe anterlisthesis Cmpressin caused by psterir C1 arch Treatment: Cntingent n: Fracture type Neurlgical exam Assciated spine injuries Assciated nn-spine injuries ~3/4 f all Hangman s fractures treated nnperatively Types I & II usually treated nnperatively Types IIA & III usually treated peratively Type IA (atypical) mre difficult t categrize as p vs nnp
3 Nnperative treatment generally with rigid cervical cllar vs hal-vest Operative treatment generally C2-3 ACDF vs C2-3 PSIF vs C1-3 PSIF C1-3 PSIF less favrable due t lss f C1-2 mtin Direct pars repair cntrversial Type I: Cnfirm with upright radigraphs in rigid cllar Rle f flexin-extensin radigraphs cntrversial Treat with rigid cervical cllar fr 6-12 weeks Type II: Vast majrity can be treated nnperatively Hal-vest vs rigid cervical cllar Mre displaced injuries may require initial reductin with skeletal tractin Bny healing may ccur at pars fracture r acrss C2-3 disc Indicatins fr perative interventin: Plytrauma Neurlgical Injury Assciated ligamentus injury Multifcal spine injuries Failure f cnservative treatment Inability t tlerate external immbilizatin Surgical Optins: C1-3 PSIF Type III: Requires perative interventin Usually pen psterir reductin and C2-3 PSIF May require C1-3 PSIF if C2 fixatin unacceptable C2-3 ACDF may be useful in unusual situatins Type 1A (atypical): Behaves unpredictably Can usually be treated nnperatively Rigid cervical cllar vs hal-vest Higher likelihd f failure f nnperative treatment than fr Type I r II injuries Indicatins fr perative interventin: Plytrauma Neurlgical Injury Assciated ligamentus injury Multifcal spine injuries
4 Failure f cnservative treatment Inability t tlerate external immbilizatin Surgical Optins: C1-3 PSIF Type IIA: Avid tractin - will wrsen defrmity Require perative interventin C1-C3 PSIF Cmplicatins: Missed injuries Elderly patients Lw energy injuries Fracture displacement/failure f nnperative treatment Nnunin Malunin Arthritis (C2 lateral mass r inferir facet invlvement) Lss f mtin Pain Hal-related cmplicatins Pin tract infectins Scarring Decubiti *age-related Periperative Psterir Infectin Neurvascular injury Vertebral artery Nnunin Malalignment Failure f fixatin Anterir Malalignment Orpharyngeal injury Neurvascular injury Hypglssal nerve Dysphagia
5 Dysphnia Airway cmprmise Higher risk with upper cervical expsures Outcmes: Generally cnsidered favrable, particularly in absence f neur deficits Paucity f literature ~3/4 anticipated t be pain free withut restricted mtin at ne year.
