The Halo Vest Immobilization for Craniocervical Junction Tuberculosis: A Comparison of Treatment Options
The study yielded satisfactory outcomes for all patients. Short-term differences in pain relief did not significantly impact the healing of CVJ tuberculosis. Patients receiving HV treatment showed greater improvement in neck function compared with those undergoing occipitocervical fusion. Given the substantial costs and risks associated with open surgery, we advocate for conservative treatment utilizing HV.
