The authors report their experience in surgical treatment of traumatic lesions of the middle and lower cervical spine using the Roy-Camille method, discussing in detail the mechanism of injury according to the previously reported classification as well as the surgical technique. Special mention is given to the treatment of separation fracture of the articular mass and the results achieved with the "en-tuile" plate. The authors conclude that the Roy-Camille method yields satisfactory short and long-term results provided that the indications are closely followed.
