Anderson and D'Alonzo classification of odontoid fractures, fractures of dens axis (C2)
Odontoid fractures are classified into three types. Type III is not an odontoid fracture but rather fracture of the vertebral body.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Type I | avulsion fracture of the tip of dens (rare) |
| Type II | fracture at the base of dens - most common (cca 2/3) |
| Type III | fracture extends into the body of the vertebra, does not involve dens (cca 1/3) |
