Abstract
The retrospective analysis of 131 patients suffering from a fracture of the ring of the axis is reported. The injury was classified into three types according to radiological displacement and stability. Associated injuries and neurological deficit are discussed and a theory of pathogenesis presented. Guidelines for the management of each type of fracture are proposed.Entities:
