Traumatic spondylolisthesis of axis (Hangman's fracture) is not a rare pathology. Although it is a very unstable fracture, healing can be achieved by conservative treatment. In case of rejection of medical treatment or persisting instability following Halo brace, surgery can be a necessity for the treatment of this pathology. In this presentation, surgical treatment of hangman1 s fracture was discussed reviewing the literature and posterior C2-C3 transpedicular plate screw fixation is emphasised as the best approach for treatment.
