Figure 2. (A) Lateral X-ray before treatment in extension showing no anterior/posterior subluxation of the C1. (B) Open-mouth X-ray before treatment shows atlas rotation to the right relative to the dens, consistent with a Type 1 anterior/posterior subluxation. (C) Lateral X-ray before treatment in flexion showing no anterior/posterior subluxation of the C1. (D) Lateral X-ray after treatment in extension showing no anterior/posterior subluxation of the C1. (E) Open-mouth X-ray of the patient after treatment shows significant improvement in atlas rotation relative to the dens. (F) Lateral X-ray of the patient after treatment in flexion showing no anterior/posterior subluxation of the C1.
