    The Judet screw technique is effective for stabilizing C2 pedicle fractures, minimizing soft tissue damage and preserving motion.

  • 2

    Neuronavigation enhances precision in screw placement, reducing risks of neurological and vascular complications during surgery.

  • 3

    Accurate identification of anatomical landmarks is crucial for safe screw placement, particularly due to variations in vertebral artery anatomy.

  • 4

    The technique involves a minimally invasive approach with a small incision and careful exposure of the C2 spinous process and lamina.

  • 5

    Postoperative imaging confirms correct screw positioning and fracture reduction, ensuring effective stabilization of C2 instability.
