The patients with cervical spine fractures with AS underwent preoperative reduction by halo-vest or skull tractions. Instrumentation internal fixation and fusion surgery were then performed. The level of cervical fractures, the operative duration, blood loss, and treatment outcomes were investigated preoperatively and postoperatively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 25 cases were included in the halo-vest group and 11 cases were included in the skull tractions group. The intraoperative blood loss and the surgery duration were significantly less in the halo-vest group than in the skull traction group. A comparison of American Spinal Injury Association scores at admission and final follow-up showed that the neurological function of patients improved in both groups. All patients had reached solid bony fusion during the follow-up.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study presented a unique approach to use halo-vest treatment fixation of unstable cervical fracture in patients with AS. The patient should also have early surgical stabilization with a halo-vest to correct spinal deformity and avoid worsening of neurological status.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fsurg.2023.1129809","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,9]],"date-time":"2023-05-09T05:28:16Z","timestamp":1683610096000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Comparative
