Abstract

» Halo-gravity traction (HGT) is a well-established technique for correcting severe spinal deformity in pediatric patients.

» HGT induces soft-tissue relaxation and gradually lengthens the spine, and it can be used preoperatively and intraoperatively.

» It is typically indicated for spinal deformity over 90° in any plane and medical optimization.

» There are several complications associated with the use of HGT, and it is critical to follow a protocol and perform serial examinations to minimize this risk.
