Craniovertebral junction stabilization is a complex neurosurgical procedure performed to stabilize the area where the skull meets the upper cervical spine. This region controls important neurological and spinal functions, and instability can cause severe neurological complications. The surgery helps protect the spinal cord and restore structural stability.
Overview
The procedure may involve: Placement of screws and rods Bone fusion techniques Decompression of neural structures Correction of spinal instability Advanced imaging guidance Conditions treated include: Craniovertebral instability Congenital abnormalities Trauma Rheumatoid involvement Basilar invagination The surgery requires careful neurological monitoring and specialized surgical planning.
