Traumatic atlantooccipital dislocation (AOD) is a severe injury which functionally separates the head from the spine. Neurological compromise or death is the common sequela. We report on a survivor after AOD, who came back to sportive activities after operative stabilization C0–2. Actually, due to the lack of large single institution series, there are no clearly recommended guidelines concerning diagnostics and treatment of AOD. Overlooking a critical review of literature, the inferences of our case are illustrated and diagnostic as well as operative treatment concepts are discussed. |
