My husband fractured his c2 a couple of days ago. they did not opt for surgery or a halo and have him in a neck brace and sent him home the day after the incident. is this a good sign?

Indicates stability: Not all fractures are the same. Some are stable and some are not. The lack of aggressive treatment indicates this fracture is probably stable. Always ask.

Depends: This depends on several things: how experienced was the physician who made the diagnosis & treatmrpent plan, your husband's age & health status, the type of fracture ( classified type 1, 2 or3-which all have different prognosis's) & whether the fracture was non displaced or displaced and by how much it was angulated if at all. You should get an opinion from an orthopedic surgeon or neurosurgeon.
