Abstract:[Objective]:?To discuss the feasibility and clinical efficacy of 3 D printing navigational template-assisted posterior temporary C1-2 pedicle screw fixation for the treatment of type II odontoid fracture. To evaluate the recovery of cervical rotation after temporary implant removal. Methods:?This is a retrospective study. A total of 14 patients were included in the study (10 males and 4 female). Their age ranged from 23 to 56 years (mean age of 41.64 years). The patients were diagnosed with type II odontoid fractures and underwent3 D printing navigational template-assisted posterior temporary C1-2 pedicle screw fixation. The patients underwent a serial postoperative clinical examination at approximately 3, 6, 9 ,12months, and 7 days after removal of the internal fixation device. The neck disability index (NDI)、visual analogue scale (VAS) and the range of neck rotary motion were used to evaluate the postoperative clinical efficacy of the patients. The range of rotary motion was evaluated at each visit. All patients underwent X-ray and cervical CT scans to evaluate the screw position and fracture healing.Results:?All patients successfully completed the operation without vertebral artery injury, nerve injury or infection.The average operation time and blood loss were 98.18 ± 8.45?min and 133.64 ±39.31?ml, respectively. The mean follow-up was 18.91±3.56 months (range 16 to 22 months). The VAS score improved from preoperative 6.91±1.14 to 2.45±1.04 postoperative 6 months(P<0.05).The neck rotary motion before removal, 7-days after removal, and the last follow-up were 60.59±5.51°、93.36±6.10°、112.32± 8.97°(P < 0.01). The NDI scores before and after the operation were48.18±7.35、26.73±5.68、17.09±2.88(P <0.01), and the NDI score 7 days after the internal fixation was removed was 7.45±2.30, which was better than immediately after the operation (P?< 0.01).Conclusions:3 D printing navigational template-assisted posterior temporary C1-2 pedicle screw fixation is a good surgical treatment for type II odontoid fractures.
