Craniocervical instability can be particularly disabling for some individuals. Surgical fusion of the unstable vertebrae has been suggested as a treatment for the symptoms that are often seen in these patients.

Dr. Henderson and Dr. Schubart describe a retrospective outcomes study of patients who underwent craniocervical fusion who had a diagnosis of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome or some clinical hypermobility with radiological evidence, severe head/neck pain, symptoms of cervical medullary syndrome, neurological deficits, and for whom all non-operative treatment had previously failed. The results were promising that there may be benefit to fusion surgery in this smaller patient population.

This presentation was given at the 2021 Think Tank meeting, which was held virtually on Saturday, August 25th. (2021)
