Successful Treatment of Cervical Vertebra Fracture After Severe Traffic Accident

At Corlu Vatan Private Hospital, Neurosurgery Specialist Dr. Oguz YOZEL performed an anterior odontoid fixation on a 19-year-old patient who was injured in a severe traffic accident. The patient was referred to our hospital from another medical facility, and upon his arrival, detailed radiological investigations were performed, which identified a fracture of the second cervical vertebra (C2), which is important for the movement and stability of the neck.

After careful evaluation of his condition, Dr. Oguz YOZEL performed an anterior odontoid fracture fixation, which restored the stability of the spine. The operation was completed successfully, and just four days later the patient was discharged in good and stable general condition.

Upon leaving the hospital, the patient expressed sincere gratitude to Dr. Oguz Yozel and the entire team of Corlu Vatan Hospital for the high professionalism, attention, and care provided to him throughout the entire treatment period.

The hospital team joyfully extends its most heartfelt wishes for a speedy and full recovery, as well as for a long, happy, and healthy life for our patient!
