Halo vest immobilisation for subaxial cervical spine injuries: a retrospective case series

HVI can be utilised to manage subaxial cervical spine injuries with careful follow-up. There may be a role in reducing the requirement for multi-level fusion in multi-level injuries, however, future prospective trials are required to elucidate this. Further investigation is required to ascertain patient reported outcomes comparing HVI to surgical management for subaxial cervical spine injuries in the long term.
