Apfelbaum Transarticular Screw Fixation

Posterior Transarticular C1-C2 Screw Fixation according to Apfelbaum

The Apfelbaum C1-C2 fixation system is based on the classical Magerl technique for transarticular screw fixation. In contrast to the open technique, the Apfelbaum instrumentation enables the subcutanous transarticular screw insertion. Therefore, approach-related surgical trauma is reduced to a minimum.
