Halo Brace Use with Cervical Fractures. The halo brace is often used as the initial treatment for odontoid fractures (located at the second cervical vertebrae of the neck). The halo brace has been used as the initial treatment for odontoid fractures. A halo metal ring is secured to the skull with pins and to two metal rods attached to a well-fitted plastic jacket. With this apparatus, it is possible to obtain complete fixation and to arrest almost all movement of the cervical spine.
Avoid using sponges that trap water and can easily leak onto the halo brace. Protect the edges of the vest with a dry towel or plastic bag (which can also be worn over the vest; cut a slit for your child's head and arms). To shampoo hair, lay your child's head over the edge of the tub or sink.
