etween 2010 and 2016, 44 patients (range 19-75 years)
with unstable hangman’s fracture underwent anterior
decompression and stabilization with cervical locking plate
and tricortical bone graft in our institution. According to the
Levine – Edwards classification all patients were unstable
type with Type Ia–6(13.6), type II 35(79.5%), Type II (0),
Type III (6.8). The mean period of follow up was 17 months
(range 6 to 48 months). None of the patient has worsening
of neurological deficit postoperatively. Neurological recovery
was observed in all 9 patients. All patients were relieved
from axial pain. All patients showed solid fusion with no
complication related to bone graft and plate .The method in
our study is feasible and safe method in treating Hangman’s
fracture, with the benefit of high primary stability, anatomical
reduction and direct decompression of the spinal cord. To
study the functional outcome in unstable Hangman’s fracture
managed with anterior decompression and stabilization with
cervical locking plate and tricortical bone graft .44 patients
(range 19-75 years) with unstable hangman’s fracture
were included in study. According to the Levine- Edwards
classification all patients were unstable type with Type Ia
-6(13.6), type II 35(79.5), Type III (6.8). The mean period of
