Preoperative management through modified halo-pelvic distraction assembly in a case of severe thoracic spine kyphosis

CONCLUSION: The application of halo-pelvic distraction before corrective surgeries can not only reduce the severity of the kyphotic deformity making the definitive surgery easy but neurology can also be improved. The high-risk complications associated with acute correction of deformities can be minimized using our modified halo-pelvic distraction device.PMID:34221621 | PMC:PMC8247685 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_254_2021
