Abstract

Wire breakage after a carvical occiput to C2 wire fixation and fusion resulted in the transdural and intramadullary migration of a wire fragment in a patient who remained neurologically intact. The risks of sublaminar wiring fixation are discussed, along with newar techniques for posterior cervical stabilization.
