Study Design. A retrospective study was performed to identify horizontal
fractures of the body of the axis, with special attention to their
pattern, prevalence, and clinical outcome.
Objective. The prevalence of this type of injury and the long - term
clinical behavior are examined.
Summary of Background Data. Although isolated cases have been reported,
horizontal Chance-type fractures of the body of the axis are not common
cervical spine injuries.
Methods. The medical records of 674 consecutive patients with fractures
of the cervical spine admitted to the authors’ institute from 1970 to
2002 were reviewed. Of them, 2 (0.3%) had a horizontal Chance-type
fracture of the body of the axis. Neurologic deficits were not diagnosed
at admission. Mechanism of injury, treatment, and long-term follow-up
were evaluated.
Results. Both patients were treated nonoperatively. At the latest
follow-up, 3 and 12 years, respectively, both patients had a
satisfactory clinical outcome.
Conclusion. Horizontal fractures of the Chance-type of the body of the
axis are rare. Conservative treatment proved to be effective.
