dc.description.abstract- OBJECTIVE: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic matic spinal fractures are mostly caused by hyperextension and are unstable. We report the cases of 5 patients with AS surgically treated for thoracolumbar fractures.- METHODS AND RESULTS: We shared our experience of posterior stabilization surgery performed for the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures after traumas such as fallaccident in patients with AS. Patients were all men, and their ages were between 52 and 77 years. The first 3 patients woke up with neurologic deficits and were managed surgically under general anesthesia. We managed the last 2 patients with unilateral short-level stabilization under local anesthesia followed by bilateral long-level stabilization under general anesthesia. No neurologic deterioration was found in the postoperative examination of these 2 patients. We assume that the reason for neurologic deterioration after general anesthesia is the relaxation of muscles. All 3 columns of the spine are affected in patients with AS and the stability is provided by the tone of the muscles around the spine. -CONCLUSIONS: To prevent postoperative neurologic complications after the surgical treatment of traumatic hyperextension thoracic and lumbar fractures in patients with AS, we recommend securing the fracture level with -nilateral short-level stabilization under local anesthesia anesthesia.en_US
