Twelve cases of rotatory subluxation of the atlanto-axial joint are presented. The pathogenesis of this lesion is discussed, in particular why it is prevalent in children. The radiographic and clinical features are described. The long-term results emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, which are essential if the best results are to be obtained.
