Description
Elizabeth Escamilla-Chávez and colleagues present an operative video of neck spine fusion in a 2026 article. A 33-year-old man fell from over 3 metres and suffered many injuries, including a type II odontoid fracture with the peg shifted back by up to 5 mm into the canal. Ligaments at the skull and neck junction had torn, yet the cord stayed unharmed.
Front screw fixing was ruled out by fracture shape and ligament damage. The team used the Goel-Harms method, placing screws in the first and second neck vertebrae from behind. Alignment was restored during surgery without vessel or nerve harm. Afterward the patient stayed neurologically intact, pain eased a lot, and scans showed stable fixing.
