AB075. SOH23ABS_039. Optimal surgical strategy for cervical fractures in ankylosing spondylitis: a comparative meta-analysis of single-stage vs. circumferential fusion

Background: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is associated with a high risk of unstable vertebral fractures. The surgical management of these fractures is both technically challenging and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This risk is even greater in the cervical spine. To date, no consensus exists regarding the optimal surgical management for cervical fractures in the AS population.
