Abstract
The treatment of type II odontoid fractures has been discussed for many years. Due to the complex anatomy of the craniocervical junction, many- questions are encountered in the diagnosis and treatment of such fractures. However, in centers without Neuro-navigation and O-arm, free hand technique still remains a viable option for the surgical treatment of such cases. Although there is no neuronavigation and O-arm in our center, we will present our case of type II odontoid screw placement with free hand technique that we successfully applied in our elderly patient with a Type II fracture
