Различные новообразования, травмы, а также врожденные и приобретенные аномалии краниовертeбральной области могут приводить к нестабильности краниовертебрального сочленения. В настоящее время в зависимости от нозологии и хирургического плана лечения пациента используют различные варианты передней и задней стабилизации краниовертебрального сочленения, а также их комбинации. Цель нашей работы – освещение современных методик стабилизации краниовертебрального сочленения, выявление их преимуществ и недостатков.

Various neoplasms, injuries, as well as congenital and acquired abnormalities of the craniovertebral region can lead to instability of the craniovertebral junction. Currently, depending on the nosology and surgical treatment plan of the patient, various options for anterior and posterior stabilization of the craniovertebral junction, as well as their combinations, are used. The purpose of our work was to highlight modern methods of stabilization of craniovertebral junction, to identify their advantages and disadvantages.
