Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess the clinical efficacy of balanced halo-pelvic traction (HPT) and evaluate its contribution to the correction surgery in treating adult severe rigid spinal deformity. METHODS One hundred and eight adult patients with severe rigid spinal deformity who underwent preoperative HPT and correction surgery were reviewed. The main coronal curve, segmental kyphotic angle, coronal balance (CB), sagittal balance (SVA), and the length of spine were measured before HPT, after HPT, post-operatively, and at final follow-up. The HPT contribution rates to deformity correction were calculated. RESULTS The pre-HPT main coronal curve was 103.4 ± 10.6°, improved to 61.0 ± 13.4° after traction and further improved to 44.2 ± 10.2° after surgical correction, and maintained at 50.3 ± 9.9° at final follow-up. CB started at 4.2 ± 4.8 cm, improved to 2.1 ± 2.5 cm after HPT, 0.8 ± 1.2 cm after operation, and 0.7 ± 0.9 cm at final follow-up. The pre-HPT sagittal segmental kyphotic angle was 67.3 ± 17.7°, was then improved to 42.2 ± 27.5° after traction and further improved to 34.9 ± 10.2° after surgery, and maintained at 35.4 ± 10.4° at final follow-up. The length of spine improved from 35.9 ± 5.9 to 42.6 ± 6.0 cm via HPT, reached up to 45.0 ± 6.0 cm after operation, and maintained at 44.3 ± 5.2 cm at final follow-up. CONCLUSION HPT is effective for the treatment of severe rigid spinal deformity. Balanced HPT can dramatically improve coronal and sagittal deformity as well as spinal length before corrective surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To provide better evidence of the efficacy and safety of preoperative halo-pelvic traction on the improvements of deformity and pulmonary functions in patients with severe scoliosis. METHODS Electronic database searches were conducted including the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science and Embase. All studies of halo-pelvic traction for the management of severe spinal deformity were included. We referred to a list of four criteria developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to assess the quality of included studies. The meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS Based on the study selection criteria, a total of eight articles consisting of a total of 210 patients were included. Statistically significant differences were found in coronal Cobb angle (P < 0.001), sagittal Cobb angle (P < 0.001) and height (P < 0.001) between pre- and post-traction. Sensitivity analysis was conducted, and there were substantial changes in heterogeneity with preoperative thoracoplasty subgroup in coronal Cobb angle (P < 0.001). Three trials including 74 subjects reported FVC and FEV1 predicted value between pre- and post-traction. There were statistically significant differences in FVC, FVC%, FEV1 and FEV1% (P < 0.001). The complication rate was 6.6-26.7%, and symptoms disappeared after reasonable traction strategy and intensive care. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative halo-pelvic traction achieved significant improvements in spinal deformity and pulmonary functions, with minor and curable complications. Thus, it is an effective and safe solution before surgery and may be the optimal choice for severe scoliosis. In light of the heterogeneity and limitations, future researches are needed to better determine the long-term efficacy on comprehensive assessment and to explore the appropriate traction system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical efficacy of short-term halo-pelvic traction (HPT) combined with surgery in the treatment of severe spinal deformities. METHODS In the study, 24 patients diagnosed as severe spinal deformity accepted the treatment of one-stage short-term HPT and two-stage surgery from January 2015 to May 2018 in our orthopedics department. 24 cases (9 males and 15 females) were retrospectively reviewed. The average age of the cohort was (28.8±10.0) years (12-48 years). The height, scoliosis angle, kyphosis angle, the height difference of shoulders, the height difference of crista iliaca, C7PL-CSVL and the perpendicular distance of S1 and the convex point of the patients were assessed at pre-traction, post-traction and post-surgery. The paired t test was used to analyze the difference among pre-traction, post-traction and post-surgery. RESULTS The average traction time of 24 cases was (2.5±1.1) weeks (1-5 weeks). The height of pre-traction and post-traction were (141.7±11.2) cm (116-167 cm) and (154.1±9.5) cm (136-176 cm) respectively, showing significant difference (P < 0.05), and the increased height was (12.4±4.6) cm (4-20 cm). The average scoliosis angle before traction was 104.9°±35.0°(25°-158°), and it was significantly decreased in post-traction[64.8°±21.0°(19°-92°)] and post-surgery[39.3°±17.0° (10°-70°)] (P < 0.05). The traction's coronal correction rate was 37.2%±10.9% (11.9%-51.2%) and the total coronal correction rate was 61.9%±12.6%(26.9%-79.0%). The average kyphosis angle before traction was 106.9°±29.2°(54°-163°), and it was significantly decreased in post-traction [63.1°±17.1°(32°-92°)] and post-surgery [39.0°±16.8°(10°-68°)](P < 0.05). The traction's sagittal correction rate was 40.0%±10.7%(16.7%-55.5%) and the total sagittal correction rate was 64.3%±10.7%(49.0%-87.5%). The average C7PL-CSVL before traction was (3.2±2.8) cm, and it was significantly decreased in post-traction [(2.5±2.5) cm] (P < 0.05). The perpendicular distance of S1 and the convex point before traction was (10.5±4.8) cm, and it was significantly decreased in post-traction[(8.4±3.5) cm] (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The one-stage short-term HPT combined with two-stage surgery is a safe and effective procedure for severe spinal deformities. The clinical efficacy is satisfactory and the complication is relatively less.

Abstract
Background Halo traction has been used as an adjunctive method in the treatment of severe spinal deformities. But there are few reports on the clinical efficacy of halo-pelvic traction (HPT) in the treatment of severe spinal deformities complicated with respiratory dysfunction. This study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and complications associated with pre-operative HPT in the treatment of severe spinal deformities with respiratory dysfunction. Methods Thirty patients with severe spinal deformities complicated with respiratory dysfunction treated with short-term pre-operative HPT were retrospectively reviewed. Inclusion criteria were: (1) patients with severe kyphoscoliosis (coronal Cobb angle or kyphosis angle ≥100°) and respiratory failure, (2) patients undergoing HPT until posterior fusion surgery. All patients underwent general anesthesia for HPT application, which the pelvic ring used in this study was a half-ring, and the rods were all placed on the anterolateral side of the truck. Results The major coronal curve scoliosis averaged 116.00 ± 16.70° and was reduced to 63.23 ± 14.00° after HPT, 46.33 ± 10.70° after surgery. The major kyphosis was 102.40 ± 27.67° and was reduced to 52.23 ± 14.16° after HPT, 42.0 ± 11.92° after surgery. A significantly increased FVC was observed after HPT (p < 0.001), with a significantly improved FVC% (p < 0.001). Similarly, a significantly increased FEV1 was also observed (p < 0.001), with a significantly improved FEV1% (p < 0.001). Conclusion This study indicated that the modified HPT could be used to help patients with severe spinal deformities complicated with respiratory dysfunction achieve significant correction in both the coronal and sagittal deformities during the pre-operative treatment period along with improved respiratory function and in the absence of severe complications.

Abstract
Objective To compare the changes of scoliosis and kyphosis angles after Halo-pelvic traction with posterior spinal osteotomy versus simple posterior spinal osteotomy for severe rigid spinal deformity. Methods A clinical data of 28 patients with severe rigid spinal deformity between January 2015 and November 2017 was retrospectively analyzed. Sixteen patients were treated by Halo-pelvic traction with posterior spinal osteotomy (group A) and 12 patients were treated with posterior spinal osteotomy only (group B). There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05) in gender, age, body mass index, and preoperative pulmonary function, coronal and sagittal Cobb angles, and flexibility. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and complications were recorded. The coronal and sagittal Cobb angles were measured on X-ray films before operation (before traction in group A), at 10 days after operation, at last follow-up in the two groups and after traction in group A. The improvement rate of deformity after traction in group A, the correction rate of deformity after operation, and the loss rate of correction at last follow-up were calculated. Results All patients were followed up 24-30 months (mean, 26.5 months). The operation time and intraoperative blood loss were significantly less in group A than in group B ( t=7.629, P=0.000; t=8.773, P=0.000). In group A, 1 patient occurred transient numbness of both legs during continuous traction and 2 patients needed ventilator support for more than 12 hours. In group B, 7 patients needed ventilator support for more than 12 hours, including 1 patient with deep incision infection. The incidence of complications was 18.75% (3/16) in group A and 58.33% (7/12) in group B, and the difference between the two groups was significant ( χ 2=4.680, P=0.031). The coronal and sagittal improvement rates of deformity after traction in group A were 40.47%±3.60% and 40.70%±4.20%, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05) in the coronal and sagittal Cobb angles at 10 days after operation and at last follow-up, in the correction rate of deformity after operation, and in the loss rate of correction at last follow-up. Conclusion For the severe rigid spinal deformity, Halo-pelvic traction with posterior spinal osteotomy and simple posterior spinal osteotomy can obtain the same orthopedic effect and postoperative deformity correction. However, the Halo-pelvic traction can shorten operation time, reduce blood loss and incidence of perioperative complications.

Abstract
A 23-year-old male whose medical history included tuberculous spondylitis presented with a kyphotic deformity and incomplete paraplegia of twenty days duration. Preoperative radiographs demonstrated a T12-L4 kyphotic Cobb's angle of 100° with a complete block showing on the lumbar myelogram at L4-5. The patient underwent anterior osteotomy and release. After the operation, a halo-pelvic apparatus was fit onto the patient, and distraction was begun. After distraction for 2 months, posterior osteotomy and release was performed for final correction, and distraction was maintained for another three weeks. Finally, the kyphotic deformity was corrected to a Cobb's angle of 62° from T12 to L4. Supplementary anterior fusion was done, and the apparatus was removed after consolidation of the fusion mass. Even twenty years after correction of a tuberculous kyphosis, he had no neurological deterioration, and could work as a farmer using agricultural machines. Correction angle and sagittal balance were well maintained.
