Surgery is the most typical treatment for patients who have a type II fracture of the cardinal vertebra's odontoid process along with a considerable displacement of the odontoid process. Nonetheless, surgical intervention is characterized by challenges and problems following surgery. For the first time, a youngster who had a type II fracture of the cardinal vertebra's odontoid process and substantial odontoid process displacement is described in this work. The child healed with conservative treatment. In addition to studying pertinent literature, the case history data, speciality and ancillary investigations, treatment approaches, and treatment outcomes are all thoroughly detailed.
