An illustrative case of type IIB patient treated by anterior odontoid screw fixation. A 15-year-old male patient had odontoid fracture, type IIB by Grauer’s classification from a vehicle accident trauma. Initial X-ray (A) and CT (B) were evaluated. Anterior screw fixation was done and follow-up X-ray (C) and CT (D) were evaluated at postoperative 12 months, which demonstrated bone union at the fracture site.
