Abstract
Posterior fusion with a Luque rectangular rod for atlanto-axial dislocation was reported on. Seven patients, of whom three had accompanying upper migration of the dens, were operated on by this method with satisfactory results. It is effective especially in stabilization of the unstable spine, prevention of nonunion and the early rehabilitation because of the strong internal fixation.
