Halo traction with the Circolectric bed in the treatment of severe spinal deformities: a preliminary report
J Pediatr Orthop.
1982.
Abstract
The role of preoperative traction has long been recognized in the treatment of patients with severe spinal deformities. However, the many complications associated with halo-femoral and halo-pelvic types of traction have led us to develop a program of halo traction combined with the use of a Circolectric bed. Between 1974 and 1979, 18 patients were treated in this manner. Results were analyzed by dividing the patients into three groups, based on the severity of deformity and the specific traction program employed. Results have been very encouraging, both with preoperative traction for curve correction and postoperative traction for maintaining correction.
