This cadaveric video produced by CSRS shows different methods of C1-C2 fixation. It's targeted at new and current surgeons and is very thorough. The simple answer is most often 4 screws and 2 rods are used to complete the fixation, but the type of screw matters a lot. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIjXY4abe5ufi8k
