case_images: A lateral radiograph of the cervical spine shows the presence of a type 2 odontoid fracture fracture with a posterior displacement of the proximal fragment (the yellow arrow at the top shows the posteriorly displaced proximal odontoid fragment).

case_images: Lateral and open-mouth radiographs showed a posteriorly displaced type 2 odontoid fracture [Figure 1].
case_images: Magnetic resonance imaging scan of the cervical spine shows the posteriorly displaced proximal odontoid fragment impinging on the canal resulting in cord compression and the intact relationship between the anterior arch of C1 and the odontoid process (the yellow arrow at the top shows the posteriorly displaced proximal odontoid fragment).

case_images: The magnetic resonance scan showed the fragment compressing the spinal cord [Figure 2].
case_images: (a and b) Postoperative anteroposterior and lateral radiographs showing the reduced odontoid fracture fixed with screws followed by a C1-C2 fusion.

case_images: Next, bilateral pedicle screws were placed in C2 followed by a C1-C2 fusion [Figure 3].
case_images: (a) Preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan shows the posteriorly displaced proximal odontoid fracture fragment (the yellow arrow at the top shows the posteriorly displaced proximal odontoid fragment). (b) Postoperative CT scan shows the reduced odontoid fracture.

case_images: Radiographs and CT scans at 1 year showed healing at the fracture site and fusion across the C1-C2 joints [Figures 4-7].
case_images: (a and b) Postoperative axial computed tomography scan cuts show the trajectory of screws.

case_images: Radiographs and CT scans at 1 year showed healing at the fracture site and fusion across the C1-C2 joints [Figures 4-7].
case_images: (a) Postoperative sagittal computed tomography (CT) scan cut demonstrates the trajectory of the screws passed in C1 and C2. As we used two-dimensional imaging, the screws passed in C1 were caudal and slightly longer, but they had a strong hold in the lateral mass. (b) Postoperative coronal CT scan cut shows the placement of the screws in the coronal plane.
