Odontoid fractures were classified into 3 types, and, in a series of 49 fractures, 2 avulsion, 32 body, and 15 basilar fractures were treated and followed for an average of 22 months (range, 6 months to 19 years). Body fractures are most prone to non-union and surgery (spine fusion) is commonly required in this group.
