The treatment of @entity174 remains controversial. The late results of 14 @entity1 with @entity24664 and III treated with halo jacket from 1995 to 1999 are presented. The @entity174 were reduced under image intensifier and stabilized by halo jacket. The immobilization period was 12 weeks. After 1 year, the @entity174 was roentgenologically consolidated in 12 out of 14 @entity1 (85.7%), and all the @entity1 were without @entity51 . Nine @entity1 (64.3%) were without subjective complaints, five had a reduced range of motion. @entity158 motion appeared in four @entity1 (28.6%), and cervical stiffness was noted in five (35.7%). We recommend halo jacket for the treatment of most @entity174 which are unstable or displaced 6 mm and more, except for @entity1 with @entity1688 . Fractures with minimal displacement and without @entity51 were treated conservatively with rigid collars. In our institution, internal fixation was performed in selected cases. The presence of @entity51 and the anatomic properties of the @entity174 site crucially influence the choice of treatment.
