The aim was to study surgical outcomes in hangman's fractures in paediatric and adolescent patients and to demonstrate evolution in posterior surgery from C1-C2-C3 fusion to C1 sparing techniques. Patients (aged ≤ 18 years) operated at a tertiary level centre between September 2011 to February 2018 with more than 1 year of follow-up were included. Neurological status, type of fracture, operating time, blood loss, follow-up, and complications were assessed. Nine patients were included, with mean age mean of 16.45 years, with a mean follow-up of 42.78 months. Six patients having neurological deficit showed improvement. Two patients, one having undergone C1-C3 lateral mass screw rod fixation (LMSF) and other had C2 pedicle screw with C3 LMSF, developed kyphosis for which fixation was further extended caudally. One patient with an old hangman's fracture with reabsorbed axis pedicle underwent C2 body screw along with C3-C4 pedicle screw rod fixation and C2 pedicle reconstruction. All patients showed evidence of postoperative fusion. Hangman's fractures in young patients can be successfully managed via posterior fixation. In our centre, we have evolved in the direction of motion preservation at C1 C2 joint, along with 3 column stable fixation of the C2 pedicle. C2 pedicle reformation has allowed motion preserving surgery in complex fracture types. Extension of construct till C4 in selected cases is important to prevent postoperative kyphosis.
