Cervical spine fractures occasionally cause severe kyphotic deformities, such as chin-on-chest deformities. In such cases, the patients typically exhibit a chronic progression of hyperkyphosis after the traumatic event. This article describes a unique case of ankylosing spondylitis associated with an acute chin-on-chest deformity following a spine fracture due to a vertebral locking lesion.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>A 60-year-old man fell while walking and sustained a compression fracture of the C6 vertebra. Two weeks later, the patient acutely developed an inability to raise his head, difficulties with chewing and swallowing, and a horizontal gaze. Radiographs demonstrated a severe kyphosis in the cervical spine with a locking lesion between the anterior wall of the C5 and C6 vertebrae. The patient also presented with neurological impairment in his hands. Because the anterior approach to the spine was anatomically impossible, halo traction was initially applied under a close observation of neurological symptoms. Three days after halo traction, release of the vertebral locking lesion and realignment of the spine were seen. The patient subsequently underwent spinal fusion using a combined anterior\u2013posterior approach.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>Postoperatively, neurological dysfunction improved, and solid fusion was confirmed at 6 months. In cases of acute kyphotic deformity following cervical spine fracture in ankylosing spondylitis patients, halo traction followed by circumferential spine fusion is a safe and effective approach for improving the alignment and stability of the spine.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3928\/01477447-20120525-54","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,12]],"date-time":"2012-06-12T19:34:55Z","timestamp":1339529695000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Vertebral Locking Lesion Following Cervical Spine Fracture in Ankylosing Spondylitis"],"prefix":"10.3928","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Tomoyuki","family":"Kuroiwa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Toshitaka","family":"Yoshii","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kyohei","family":"Sakaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiroyuki","family":"Inose","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shoji","family":"Tomizawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tsuyoshi","family":"Kato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shigenori","family":"Kawabata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kenichi","family":"Shinomiya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Atsushi","family":"Okawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2308","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0307-742X(21)00588-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1990.72.2.0210"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.1780260608"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.C.01472"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/BRS.0b013e31817c6c64"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3171\/FOC\/2008\/24\/1\/E11"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3171\/SPI\/2008\/8\/6\/579"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.76B4.8027159"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00307827"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_11_2","first-page":"1981","article-title":"Clinical vertebral fractures in patients with ankylosing spondylitis","volume":"31","author":"Vosse D","year":"2004","unstructured":"Vosse D, Feldtkeller E, Erlendsson J, et al.
