Abstract

The article discusses a surgical technique for pediatric craniovertebral junction anomalies, combining modified Gallie's posterior wiring with Goel-Harms C1-C2 fixation. The procedure involves careful patient positioning, suboccipital exposure, decompression, wire loop placement, iliac crest grafting, and screw rod fixation. The article highlights the challenges and benefits of different fixation strategies, emphasizing the need for individualized surgical plans for complex pathologies. The study demonstrates the successful outcome of the procedure in a pediatric patient with improved motor function and ambulation postoperatively. [Extracted from the article]
