Atlanto-axial dislocation (AAD) is a serious condition involving instability or abnormal alignment between the first cervical vertebra (atlas) and the second cervical vertebra (axis). This condition can compress the spinal cord and brainstem, leading to neurological deficits and life-threatening complications if not treated promptly.
In Lucknow, advanced spine and neurosurgical centers offer comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for atlanto-axial dislocation using modern imaging, surgical techniques, and postoperative care.
Atlanto-axial dislocation occurs when there is excessive movement or misalignment between the atlas (C1) and axis (C2). It may be reducible or irreducible and can be congenital or acquired.
