It is hopeful that skull has not become detached from the spine as that person would likely be dead. The joint that attaches the spinal column to the skull is called the atlanto-occiptial joint and creates forward and backward movement (flexion and extension). There are also strong ligaments. They can all be injured and if unstable it is possible to fuse to spine to the skull using plate and screws, operating from the back of the head and neck.

Survival of an internal decapitation and or separation of skull from spinal cord spinal cord?
I believe the most recent numbers for the survival of atlanto-occipital dislocation, more commonly referred to as internal decapitation, are 98 out of 100 people die from this particular trauma. There are people who have survived though and there are invasive surgeries to reattach the skull back to the spine after dislocation.
