Application of halo apparatus for injuries and diseases of the cervical spine
The experience of halo-apparatus application is presented in 36 patients, aged 1,5 - 60 years, with injuries and pathology of the cervical spine. There were 12 patients with fractures of the odontoid process, 6 patients with C2 arch fractures, 2 patients with transligamentous dislocation, 1 patient with epiphysiolysis, 5 patients with rotatory subluxation, 2 patients with Jefferson fracture, 2 patients with eosinophilic granuloma, 4 patients with subluxation in the lower cervical spine and 2 patients with discitis. In all cases halo-apparatus showed its high efficacy as a stabilizing and correcting device. Obtained results allow the authors to recommend more wider application of halo-apparatus in clinical practice.
