Surgery for a neck bone dislocation that can’t be put back
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at surgical treatment for a specific type of neck bone dislocation that cannot be corrected without surgery. It may help patients whose imaging and traction testing show they need an operation to stabilize the neck.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 0 and 80 years old (any gender).
- You have been diagnosed with an “irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation” using pre-surgery scans and a skull-traction test.
- You are considered a candidate for surgery after the traction test (not just watched or treated another way).
- You (or your legal representative) can give consent to join the study.
- You should not have serious conditions that could interfere with surgery, like certain infections or cancer spread (malignant metastasis).

This trial aims to find the best ways to diagnose and treat a specific type of neck bone problem called atlantoaxial dislocation. It is for people who have this condition and are having surgery.
This study tests a new, less invasive surgery for a condition where the top two bones in the neck slip out of alignment (atlantoaxial dislocation). The surgeon uses a minimally invasive approach to fuse the bones together, which aims to reduce pain and instability and help you heal faster.
This trial compares non-surgical treatment with surgery for people who have atlantoaxial dislocation (a neck joint problem) but no nerve-related symptoms like numbness or weakness. It aims to see if conservative care alone can be a good option.
This trial studies specific surgical hardware used to stabilize the back of the neck and upper back during spine surgery. It may help surgeons compare outcomes for people needing fixation for trauma, instability, failed prior fusion, tumors, or certain degenerative conditions.
This trial looks at using a specific implant system during planned front-of-the-neck surgery (C2 to C7) for common neck problems like disc degeneration, injury, or spinal narrowing. It may help doctors compare outcomes with this particular hardware and surgical approach.
This study looks at how well planned surgery corrects neck (cervical) deformities and how the results change over time. It mainly involves standard pre- and follow-up imaging and study questionnaires to compare clinical and X-ray outcomes.
