Technique for direct posterior reduction in irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation: Multi-planar realignment of C1–2

Highlights • C1-2 dislocation may occur in various planes. • Correction of dislocation in all planes is desirable. • The technique described uses long rod holder as lever and screw tulip as fulcrum. • Manipulation of the lever leads to realignment of C1 &C2.
