Type I, apex (tip) of the dens
Type I: fracture involving the apex (tip) of the odontoid process, above the transverse ligament, generally representing an avulsion at the alar ligament insertion.
CondutaGenerally stable and treated conservatively; if instability is suspected (e.g., alar ligament avulsion), dynamic radiographs are recommended to evaluate.
RiscoUsually stable; least common type. Instability is a concern only if associated ligamentous disruption is present.
verificadoAnderson and D'Alonzo classification of odontoid (dens) fracturesStatPearls NBK441956 (Odontoid Fractures): 'Type I odontoid fractures involve the apex of the dens and are generally stable. However, if instability is suspected... dynamic radiographic imaging is recommended.'

Type II, base/neck of the dens
Type II: fracture through the neck (base) of the odontoid process, at the junction with the C2 body. Subtypes by fracture-line pattern (anterior oblique, posterior oblique, horizontal); the type IIA variant is an unstable comminuted fracture at the dens base.
CondutaMost common subtype and generally considered unstable; management is individualized (immobilization vs surgical fixation) given the well-known risk of nonunion, particularly in the comminuted IIA variant.
RiscoHighest nonunion risk of the three types because the fracture crosses the watershed neck of the dens; generally unstable.

The type IIA variant specifically features unstable comminuted fractures at the base of the dens.'

Type III, fracture extending into the C2 body
Type III: fracture extending below the base of the dens into the cancellous body of C2 (and may involve the C1-C2 facet joints).
CondutaNon-surgical treatment with external immobilization is the preferable option for most patients, owing to the broad cancellous fracture surface and better union potential.
RiscoBetter healing potential than type II because of the large cancellous bone contact area; generally treated nonoperatively.
verificadoAnderson and D'Alonzo classification of odontoid (dens) fracturesStatPearls NBK441956: 'Type III fractures extend into the body of C2. Non-surgical treatment with external immobilization remains the preferable option for most patients with this type of fracture.'
