Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice

Summary

Usually, cervical spine fractures are not considered as osteoporotic fractures. However, recent studies show that odontoid fractures are the most common fractures of the cervical spine in elderly and may occur in a context of low trauma energy. Thus, the goal of this observationnal study is : * to describe the different type of odontoid fracture and to characterize bone status in elderly patient (\>65 y) who underwent odontoid fracture in a context of low trauma energy. * To describe short and long term outcomes
