Abstract

The girl, aged 2 years 11 months, had an unstable type II odontoid fracture. Initial non-operative therapy failed to maintain her in proper alignment. She was taken for posterior interlaminar wiring with iliac crest bone graft. Her fracture showed signs of fusion at her six month follow-up.
