title: [Application of Halo-vest head ring in replantation of total scalp avulsion].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the clinical effect of Halo-vest head ring in the treatment of replantation of total scalp avulsion.
  
  
  METHODS
  We treated 11 cases of total scalp avulsion with the anastomosis of arteriovenous vessels and Halo-vest head ring from December 2006 to February 2015.
  
  
  RESULTS
  One patient's replanted scalp got necrosis because of serious contusion which was healed without hair growth after free skin graft and dressing. All the scalp flaps in the other 10 patients survived. After 3-96 months follow-up, the wound completely healed, the scalp and hair grew well with satisfactory appearance.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The use of Halo-vest head ring for replantation of total scalp avulsion can effectively improve the survival rate and survival area.
