Abstract
The authors describe a unique headholder device adapted to facilitate the placement of anterior odontoid screws. The patient's head is affixed in the headholder equipped with an articulating arm that can be placed in a paramedian fashion. This configuration rigidly fixates the head and provides an unencumbered open-mouth view of the odontoid using radiographic images, thus making screw placement easier.
