Efficacy analysis of modified halo-pelvic traction combined with pedicle subtraction osteotomy for severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

Key Points

• Modified halo-pelvic traction shows significant improvement in sagittal plane correction and pulmonary function, enhancing treatment for severe scoliosis.
• Key evidence indicates that both modified and traditional techniques are effective, with distinct advantages for the modified approach.
• Assessment using traditional and novel traction combined with pedicle subtraction osteotomy demonstrates potential for enhanced outcomes.
• Further validation with larger sample sizes is essential to confirm the efficacy of modified halo-pelvic traction in scoliosis management.
