Risk factors for non‐union in the non‐operative management of type II dens fractures

Background:  Despite the publication of numerous studies, there remains controversy regarding the non‐operative treatment of type II dens fractures.

We sought to compare the outcomes of patients managed with these devices in terms of risk factors for non‐union and complication rates.
