Modified Minerva orthosis proven helpful in pediatric patients following airway surgery

In 2008, the acute care orthotics team at Michigan Medicine received an order for a cervical orthosis (neck brace) from Glenn Green, M.D., a clinical professor of pediatric otolaryngology as well as a head and neck surgeon in Pediatric Otolaryngology at U-M C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital. The order resulted in a modified version of this neck brace that is still being used at Mott today.
