Minimally invasive neck fusion surgery for atlantoaxial dislocation
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between the ages of 0 and 80.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of atlantoaxial dislocation (the top two neck bones are out of alignment) and surgery through the back of the neck is recommended.
- You must be in good enough health to be evaluated for surgery and to complete follow-up assessments.
- You must agree to participate and sign a consent form.
- You cannot have had previous surgery for this condition using a different method (like TARP).

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 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 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.
This study compares two ways of doing neck fusion surgery for people with age-related (degenerative) problems in the cervical spine. It may help surgeons learn which method works best for healing and long-term outcomes.
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.
