Does the removal of the halo mean that the skull has reattached to the
spine? I wasn't aware this could happen (perhaps nature does not get
that many opportunities to try) but the article does not mention surgery
to fuse skull to spine.

I thought basal skull facture was the result of 5 point harnesses, and a heavy helmet. appearently any impact can have the same result, seat belt or no.

Doctors are working on that but she has been lucky enough to
get the halo removed.
