Frontal correction assessment in severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery using halo gravity traction before to posterior vertebral arthrodesis: a multicenter retrospective observational study

ConclusionHGT preparation in the management of correction of AIS with a Cobb angle greater than 90 ° is a technique providing a greater frontal correction gain with similar complication rate than PSF correction alone. We recommend a minimum halo duration of 4 weeks.
