We reperted long-term result of ten patients diagnosed atlant-axial rotator fixation (AARF), who were treated conser atively or operatively. This report included seven males and three females, three to ten years-old (avarage age 7.4 years). This petiod of follow up was 2 months to 9 years (average 2.6 years). All patioents had torticollis, painful neck and limit of motion.
They were diagnosed by clinical, the plain roentgenography and computed tomography in neural position. Gulison or skull traction were done in all patients. In six patients conservative therapy had performed, and in four had operated.
Six performed conservatively were asymptomatic and had normal reange of motion. Only one in them remained slightly rotatory deformity on CT. Four done operatively remained mildtorticollis and small limit of motion, and rotatory deformity, but disturbanceof ADL were none.
