Default Atlantoaxial Rotary Fixation C1-C2

Hi,
I had a fall in June this year. I hurt my neck..Somehow C2 is rotated and subluxed with atlantoaxial rotary fixation.
The Doc is suggesting a C1-C2 fusion...BUT...
1. He's not sure he can put the C1 and C2 back in their normal p;lace
2. Fusing C1-C2 won't correct this deformity
3. Fusing will block 50% of neck rotation
4.Fusing will put more demand on lower levels.

I don't know what to do. Apparently this is very rare. Also, if they would have caught this at 6 weeks, they could have just done some traction and I'd be fine...now I'm at 12 weeks and looking at surgery in 10 days with not a positive outcome..

Anyone have and advice?

Thanks
