Study population: The study population consists of patients admitted to the Trauma Unit of Assiut University Hospital with diagnosed odontoid fractures. This population likely includes individuals of various ages and backgrounds who have experienced trauma leading to this specific type of fracture. The study may focus on patients who have undergone different treatment strategies, such as surgical intervention or conservative management, to assess the effectiveness and outcomes of these approaches over time. The demographic characteristics of the population could include age, gender, cause of injury, and pre-existing health conditions, which might influence treatment outcomes.

Brief summary: This study aims to evaluate the long-term outcomes of treating patients with odontoid fractures admitted to the Trauma Unit of Assiut University Hospital.

Detailed description: study focuses on assessing the long-term results of treatment for patients diagnosed with odontoid fractures. These fractures involve the odontoid process of the second cervical vertebra and can be serious due to their potential impact on spinal stability and neurological function. The study is conducted within the Trauma Unit of Assiut University Hospital, indicating that it involves patients who have been admitted for acute care following such injuries. The long-term outcomes likely include factors such as recovery rates, complications, and the effectiveness of different treatment modalities.
