简要总结
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of surgical versus conservative management of type II odontoid fractures among patients > 64 years of age. Of secondary interest is to determine if there are differences in outcomes between anterior screw fixation and posterior fusion of these fractures.
详细描述
Hypotheses are as follows:
- Patients receiving surgical management will exhibit better disease specific health and general health related quality of life measures compared to those managed conservatively.
- The rate of radiographic bony fusion will be greater among elderly patients receiving surgical fixation compared to patients receiving conservative management.
- The rate of non union will be greater in the conservative group compared to the surgical group.
- The complication rate will be higher in the surgical group due to the nature of the intervention though the rate of severe and serious complications will be low.
