What refers to both the axis and atlas, as Axoida-atlaidean articulation. The lesions of the Axoido-atloidean, are, 1. Fracture of the Processus Dentatus. 2. Rupture of the odontoid ligament, and consequently passage and pressure of the process behind the transverse ligament: and, 3. The simultaneous rupture of the odontoid and transverse ligaments. These different accidents are fatal.
