Abstract
Most of the Hangman's fractures are treated conservatively. Surgical indication is only in type IIA and III fractures. There are many ways of fixing fractured spine either by anterior or posterior. Osteosynthesis of C2 pedicle by transpedicular screw in type IIA is a newer concept started by Judet by putting appropriate length of screws in C2 pedicle, so the fracture reduces and anatomical motion will remain intact. In fact it is a more physiological concept of fixing.1 I am doing by open method with exposure of C2 bilaterally and putting appropriate screws in the fracture. It gives proper reduction, compression and immediate stabilization of fracture.
