Occipital Condyle Morphology: a CT-Based Analysis of 500 Condyles

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: The use of occipital condyle screws in occipitocervical fixation is a recent development, and was originally described by Uribe et al. Occipital condyle screw placement is a salvage technique when an occipital plate cannot be placed or fails to provide adequate fixation. Detailed knowledge of the dimensions of the occipital condyle and the surrounding anatomy of the occipitocervical junction is critical when placing occipital condyle screws.
