Abstract

The upper cervical spine is responsible for a significant portion of the flexion, extension and rotation movements of the whole cervical spine. It is a complex region with anatomical and biomechanical relationships between the occipital condyles, atlas, axis and their joints. These make this a region of special interest in the context of trauma. In this article we review the anatomy of the cranio-vertebral junction, the clinical patterns of injury, and the options in their clinical management.
