متن کاملImproved lateral cervical spine radiography through halo traction device.
Patients with instability of the cervical spine due to trauma, neoplasm, infection, or surgery wear halo traction devices for prolonged periods of time. While providing the requisite distraction and stability, the four post frame of this device frequently frustrates attempts to monitor the progress of healing with sequential radiographs in the following ways: (1) the metal frame and wide plasti...
متن کاملProgressive correction of severe spinal deformities with halo-gravity traction.
Treatment of rigid and severe spinal deformities is challenging and risky. Preoperative halo-gravity traction can be used to progressively reduce the deformity before spinal fusion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of halo-gravity traction for the correction of severe spinal deformities. Fifteen patients were reviewed retrospectively. Their mean age at the beginning of tr...
متن کاملبررسی تاثیر کشش (Halo Traction) بین دو عمل جراحی آزادسازی و فیوژن قدامی و خلفی ستون مهره‌ها در درمان اسکولیوز
Background: The currently accepted treatment of scoliosis are bracing and surgery. Two-stage anterior and posterior spinal fusion is used to correct scoliosis. It seems that the application of a longitudinal force to the axis of the spinal column as a means of stabilizing by halo traction, may increase the correction of the curve. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of halo tractio...
متن کاملThe "halo" traction apparatus. A method of external splinting of the cervical spine after injury.
External fixation of the cervical spine is usually obtained by means of a “ Minerva” plaster-of-Paris jacket, a device by no means always satisfactory. The patient usually finds it heavy, and frequently hot and uncomfortable. Even the best fitting “ Minerva “ plaster allows more cervical movement than the surgeon may desire, and though immobilisation may be improved by the incorporation of a sk...
