The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical and radiographic characteristics of pediatric patients that undergo either successful or unsuccessful atlantoaxial fusion. Atlantoaxial fusion is a surgical procedure that aims to stabilize the first and second vertebrae in the neck, which can be necessary due to instability or other medical conditions.
Participants in the study will undergo various procedures to assess both clinical and radiographic outcomes. Clinical outcomes refer to the physical health and recovery of the patient, while radiographic outcomes involve the use of imaging techniques, such as X-rays, to evaluate the success of the fusion.
- Who can participate: This study is for pediatric patients undergoing atlantoaxial fusion, typically aged 0-18 years. Specific eligibility criteria are not provided.
- Study details: Participants will have their clinical and radiographic characteristics evaluated through imaging techniques to assess the success of the fusion.
