He was initially transferred to another hospital, where he was stabilised and the airway was secured. Afterwards, he was transferred to the Centro Médico ABC. Campus Observatorio (Mexico City), where he was received by our team. The patient arrived with a score of 6 points in the Glasgow scale and under sedative medication. Diagnosis upon arrival was: severe traumatic brain injury, diffuse axonal injury (grade III), subarachnoid haemorrhage (Fisher IV), right temporal brain contusion, pulmonary contusion, fracture in the first left rib and spleen laceration (grades I–II) (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>).</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0005"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">During the first 24<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>h an external ventricular drainage with intracranial pressure monitor was placed.

Two days after surgery, the intracranial pressure was stabilised in normal values. After 6 days of hospital stay, a halo vest without traction was applied and sedative medication was withdrawn. Subsequently, he developed a sepsis of unknown origin, with negative cultures and good response to antimicrobial therapy.

In the radiologic control studies, no ischaemic or haemorrhagic areas were demonstrated. The progress of the patient continued to be favourable and rehabilitation started with good response.

Limited neck muscle development is additional challenging in the surgical technique, because of, the disproportion between head and body and the smaller articulations of the occipitocervical complex.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0155"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10,11</span></a> The most recommended treatment for odontoid fractures is the anterior cervical approach with biplanar fluoroscopy as it manages to greatly preserve the ligaments, the axial rotation and the immediate atlantoaxial fixation with a fusion rate of 92–100%. The complication rate is 9.5% and most of the complications are due to instrumentation material failure. The use of double internal screws in odontoids has not demonstrated a significant biomechanic advantage over the use of one sole screw. There are three essential movements involved in the atlantoaxial joint: flexion, extension and axial rotation. The fixation techniques can be divided into rigid and semi-rigid techniques. In the rigid fixation technique, transarticular screws or screws and rod in C1–C2 are used. In the semi-rigid fixation wires or cables are used.</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The indications to perform atlantoaxial arthrodesis depend on the aetiology, which could be congenital, due to development or acquired. The interlaminar wiring and grafting fixation technique described by Brooks and provides a very effective stabilisation of the rotation in the sagittal plane. The bone grafting mechanically prevents extension. This technique preserve axial movement and with a low arthrodesis rate external immobilization is mostly recommended. This treatment is recommended for patients with C1–C2 fixation, due to immature spine. The C1–C2 transarticular screw fixation technique has a high rate of immediate stability in all the movements of the joint.</p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This procedure is recommended in children older than 9 years. Technically it is very demanding and the surgeon's experience plays a key role in the success of the surgery. The limitations of the surgical technique are mainly caused by the size of C2; and, likewise, there is great risk of injuring the vertebral artery (4.1%). This is why it is necessary to have access to vascular imaging, since a vertebral artery injury is an absolute contraindication. Spine fusion by the lateral masses is indicated when the transarticular fixation cannot be performed due to anatomical variations in the vertebral artery and to a severe thoracic kyphosis.</p></span><span id="sec0025" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0075">Occipitocervical fusion</span><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The most common indication to perform an occipitocervical fixation is the occipitocervical instability, which could be congenital or acquired aetiology as shown in <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0010">Table 2</a>, proposed by Ahmed et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0165"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a> Werne has studied the technique in cadaver specimens to determine the forces necessary to produce a rupture in the tectorial membrane and in the alar ligament and that at the same time may produce an atlantooccipital dislocation.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0170"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a></p><elsevierMultimedia ident="tbl0010"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Surgical treatment must be individually selected, being able to extend one or two levels below the axial instability according to the radiographic findings.
