An atlantoaxial joint fracture is a serious injury involving the first (atlas) and second (axis) cervical vertebrae in the neck, which support the skull and enable head rotation. This type of fracture often results from trauma, such as a car accident or fall, and can lead to neck pain, restricted movement, and in severe cases, neurological symptoms like numbness or paralysis if the spinal cord is affected. Treatment varies based on fracture stability and may include immobilization with a cervical collar, traction, or surgical stabilization to promote healing and prevent further damage.
