Pediatric dens anatomy and its implications for fracture treatment: an anatomical and radiological study

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Purpose: Separation of C2 growth plates and dens fractures are the most common types of injuries to the axis (C2) in children. Operative treatment of these injuries with the use of direct osteosynthesis requires a profound knowledge of detailed anatomy and dimensions of the axis. The main issue addressed by the study was the age at which the size of the dens is adequate at all levels to accommodate two screws, and the size of the posterior dens angulation angle (PDAA) in a healthy child in individual age periods. Methods: Dimensions and angles of the dens and C2 in individual age categories in both boys and girls were measured in a series of 203 CT scans of individuals 0-18 years old and on anatomical specimens (42 samples). In addition, 5 histological series of this region from the fetal period were reviewed. Results: Dimensions of the dens gradually increase with age, with a considerable acceleration during growth spurt periods that are different in boys and girls. PDAA is markedly changing with age; in the fetal period, the dens shows a slight anterior angulation which gradually transforms into posterior angulation, as early as between 4 and 6 years of age. The screw insertion angle changes accordingly. Conclusion: During growth, there occur changes in PDAA that should be respected in evaluation of transformation of anterior into posterior angulation, as shown by imaging methods. Dens dimensions theoretically allow insertion of two 3.5 mm screws as early as from the age of 1 year.
