Progressive 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 کاملPreoperative Halo-Gravity Traction for Severe Pediatric Spinal Deformity: Complications, Radiographic Correction and Changes in Pulmonary Function.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY The use of preoperative halo-gravity traction (HGT) improves both spinal deformity and pulmonary function and is a helpful adjuvant in the treatment of complex spinal deformity. Despite the benefits of preoperative HGT, there is no consensus on the optimal traction protocol. METHODS We evaluated the treatment of 33 patients treated with preoperative HGT to determine the saf...

متن کاملImages in anesthesiology: transient paraplegia after anesthesia for magnetic resonance imaging.
AN 8-yr-old girl developed kyphosis and myelopathy after treatment for Ewing sarcoma. Her thoracic kyphosis (144°) had resulted in myelopathy, gait disturbance, and urinary incontinence (fig.). Halo traction had been instituted 3 months before preparing for C7–T11 posterior spinal fusion. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings are marked kyphosis of the thoracic spine, with marked narrow...
