Pelvic traction has been recommended for the treatment of LSS in an attempt to relieve compression that results from the pathology. Although traction may be helpful for pain reduction in some patients, it should be combined with more active forms of therapy to improve function.

2025年1月30日 · This case report presents a severe airway obstruction incident in an 11-year-old boy scheduled for posterior spinal correction after halo-pelvic traction, highlighting the need for thorough preoperative airway evaluation in patients with severe scoliosis, particularly those with thoracic lordosis, and the potential risks associated with this ...

2020年10月8日 · Currently, numerous surgeons advocate for halo-gravity traction (HGT) as a safe adjunctive method, as prior studies have demonstrated that pre-operative HGT can obtain 15 to 38% correction in scoliosis and 17 to 35% correction in kyphosis; in addition, some reports indicate significant improvements in pulmonary function with this procedure [3 – 5].

Results: The pre-HPT main coronal curve was 103.4 ± 10.6°, improved to 61.0 ± 13.4° after traction and further improved to 44.2 ± 10.2° after surgical correction, and maintained at 50.3 ± 9.9° at final follow-up. CB started at 4.2 ± 4.8 cm, improved to 2.1 ± 2.5 cm after HPT, 0.8 ± 1.2 cm after operation, and 0.7 ± 0.9 cm at final ...

The halo-pelvic distraction can make intraoperative instrumentation easy for surgeons, during correction surgery, due to adjusted paraspinal musculature and lengthened spinal canal hence reducing surgery time.[4,6]

2022年5月28日 · Wang et al. showed that for severe rigid scoliosis with Cobb angle > 120°, short-term preoperative Halo-pelvic traction combined with posterior surgery is a safe and effective method. The Cobb angle could be reduced by approximately 50% after 4–6 weeks of traction, creating favorable conditions for spinal orthopedic surgery [ 10 ].

2020年9月25日 · This study evaluated the effectiveness of halo-pelvic traction followed by a posterior-only approach correction in the treatment of severe spinal kyphosis secondary to tuberculosis.

2021年5月1日 · Results: The traction time of the 14 patients was (35.2±8.3)days (range:20 to 49 days), and the height of them increased from (156.7±7.6)cm (range:141 to 166 cm) before traction to (167.0±6.4)cm (range:154 to 177 cm) after traction（t=-10.49，P<0.01）.

2021年1月15日 · For severe rigid scoliosis with a Cobb angle greater than 120°, a combination of short-term presurgical HPT and posterior surgery is an effective and safe solution. After 4 to 6 weeks of presurgical HPT the Cobb angle can be decreased by approximately 50%, providing a favorable condition for spine c …
