Abstract

The authors examined 25 fractures of the dens epistrophei treated conservatively by several methods in order to evaluate the most suitable treatment for this lesion. A Minerva plaster cast proved to be effective in the treatment of type III fractures, while the halo plaster system obtained the best results in type II fractures.
