No significant difference in the progression of local kyphosis between the two orthosis treatments. a Comparison of the local cervical kyphosis between the group of patients treated with neck brace (n = 7) and the group of patients treated with halo vest (n = 6) as measured by the posterior tangent method at the time of injury. b Comparison of the local cervical kyphosis between the group of patients treated with neck brace and the group of patients treated with halo vest as measured by the posterior tangent method at the time of final follow-up. c Comparison of the progression of local cervical kyphosis between the group of patients treated with neck brace and the group of patients treated with halo vest as measured by the posterior tangent method. d Comparison of the local cervical kyphosis between the group of patients treated with neck brace and the group of patients treated with halo vest as measured by the endplate method at the time of injury. e Comparison of the local cervical kyphosis between the group of patients treated with neck brace and the group of patients treated with halo vest as measured by endplate method at the time of final follow-up. f Comparison of the local cervical kyphosis between the group of patients treated with neck brace and the group of patients treated with halo vest as measured by the endplate method
