Former broken neck questions
I broke my neck when I was younger (around 6 years ago.) I have some plates, screws, and rods in my neck from surgery. It's been awhile so I'm not too sure what I exactly broke. But I know it was a few upper vertebrae. I had to wear a halo and I now have limited mobility in my head when it comes to turning. I was wondering what type of jobs/careers I couldn't do. I'm currently interested in police work but I'm not to sure if I can fill the requirements

From what you are saying I understand that you had cervical vertebra fracture for which you underwent instrumentation and fusion procedure
Next Steps
with this kind of surgery your neck moments are obviously going to be restricted
Health Tips
you need to consult the surgeon who operated you for more information because he knows the best as well you need to get a fresh x-ray
