Abstract BACKGROUND Numerous C1-C2 fixation techniques exist for the treatment of atlantoaxial instability. Limitations of screw-rod and sublaminar wiring techniques include C2 nerve root sacrifice and dural injury, respectively. We present a novel technique that utilizes a femoral head allograft cut with a keyhole that rests posteriorly on the arches of C1 and C2 and straddles the C2 spinous process, secured by sutures. OBJECTIVE To offer increased fusion across C1-C2 without the passage of sublaminar wiring or interarticular arthrodesis. METHODS A total of 6 patients with atlantoaxial instability underwent C1-C2 fixation using our method from 2015 to 2016. After placement of a C1-C2 screw/rod construct, a cadaveric frozen femoral head allograft was cut into a half-dome with a keyhole and placed over the already decorticated dorsal C1 arch and C2 spinous process. Notches were created in the graft and sutures were placed in the notches and around the rods to secure it firmly in place. RESULTS The femoral head's shape allowed for creation of a graft that provides excellent surface area for fusion across C1-C2. There were no intraoperative complications, including dural tears. Postoperatively, no patients had sensorimotor deficits, pain, or occipital neuralgia. 5 patients demonstrated clinical resolution of symptoms by 3 mo and radiographic (computed tomography) evidence of fusion at 1 yr. One patient had good follow-up at 1 mo but died due to complications of Alzheimer disease. CONCLUSION The posterior arch femoral head allograft strut technique with securing sutures is a viable option for supplementing screw-rod fixation in the treatment of complex atlantoaxial instability.
