A member asked:
I have broken my c2 bone and have a halo fitted do you think they will remove it after 9.5 weeks and will i need physio?

? and Yes: You will have the halo removed when the fracture has healed. It's impossible for us to know exactly when that might be. I can tell you however, that you will need physical therapy once the halo is removed. Good luck!
