Abstract
Odontoid fracture is the most common type of upper cervical vertebral fractures. Because the blood supply of odontoid is poor and the healing rate of part fractures is low, surgical treatment can increase the chance of fracture healing. Compared with traditional open surgery, minimally invasive treatment has obvious advantages, such as less trauma and faster recovery. Different types of odontoid fracture should be treated with different surgical methods. Only by accurately classifying odontoid fractures and choosing accurate minimally invasive treatment methods can we achieve safe and effective expected results. The author introduces the classification of odontoid fracture and the selection strategies of minimally invasive treatment methods, and puts forward the existing problems and development prospects, so as to provide help for the treatment and research of odontoid fracture. Key words: Odontoid process; Cervical vertebrae; Surgical procedures, minimally invasive
