Halo pelvic traction. A preliminary report on a method of external skeletal fixation for correcting deformities and maintaining fixation of the spine.
We believe that head-pelvic skeletal traction was first attempted in 1958 by one of us (A. R. H.). With the description of the “halo” skull traction apparatus by Perry and Nickel (1959), a method was provided for immobilising the unstable cervical spine. From this developed “halo-femoral” traction, now used by some surgeons for the correction of spinal deformities before and after operation. Ho...

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 کاملThe cervical spine after halo-pelvic traction. An analysis of the complications of 83 patients.
This retrospective study assesses the complications affecting the cervical spine after halo-pelvic traction in 83 patients who were followed up for a minimum of five years. Forty-four patients (53 per cent) had significant cervical complications such as radiological degenerative changes, avascular necrosis of the dens, loss of movement, pain or spontaneous fusion. The most important predisposin...
متن کاملIntraoperative Use of Rib-to-Pelvis Traction to Correct Pelvic Obliquity in the Neuromuscular Spine
Introduction The goal of posterior spinal fusion in neuromuscular scoliosis is to obtain a balanced trunk as well as accommodative, pressurefree seating on a level pelvis. Development of pelvic obliquity or involvement of the pelvis in the scoliotic curve can cause difficulties with seating, costopelvic impingement, and worsening pulmonary function, ultimately leading to difficulty with caregiv...
