Craniocervical Junction Fixation

The junction of Skull ( head )with Spine is complex, as large number of ligaments & special vertebrae are involved in providing wide range of mobility & maintaining spinal stability. Wide range of diseases like infection, trauma, tumours & arthritis, can lead to bony destruction or ligamentous disruption at craniocervical junction, rendering it unstable & resulting in pain & weakness of limbs. In most cases surgical stability is required which is achieved by fixation through screws and rods. The complex anatomy at this craniocervical junction, makes surgery challenging & high precision is required to achieve desired results without devastating complications. Dr. Zubair Mustafa Khan has successfully performed large number of such complex surgeries with excellent outcome.
