Closed reduction of traumatic atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation with type II odontoid fracture
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Traumatic atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation (TAARS) in adults is rare. We present an uncommon case of traumatic atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation with an associated type II odontoid fracture in a neurologically intact patient and describe a novel technique used for a successful closed reduction. Case description: A 20-year-old female presented with a decreased level of consciousness after being involved in a motor vehicle accident at highway speeds. A computed tomography (CT) demonstrated atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation and a type II odontoid fracture. CT angiography showed a left V3 vertebral dissection. She was neurologically intact on examination. A halo ring was applied and the patient successfully underwent closed reduction using traction and a novel transoral reduction technique described below.After closed reduction, a C1–C2 posterior instrumented fusion was performed. At 12-weeks follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic, neurologically intact with optimally maintained cervical spine alignment. Conclusion: Prompt manual closed reduction can safely be achieved in adults using this novel transoral reduction technique, which we describe for the first time in this report.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
