Application Of A Halo Body Cast

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 29000

Puts on a rigid cast that encircles the trunk and connects to a metal ring anchored to the skull, locking the head, neck and body together as one unit. That connection to the head ring is what sets it apart from a plain trunk cast. It is used to hold the upper spine completely still while a fracture, an unstable neck or a surgical repair heals.
