The impact of halo-pelvic traction on deformity correction and bone mineral density in patients with severe spine deformity
While preoperative traction effectively corrects severe spinal deformities and improves flexibility, it significantly decreases BMD. The strong correlation between correction effectiveness and bone loss highlights the need for careful monitoring of bone quality during traction, especially in high-risk patients. Further research is needed to optimize traction protocols and prevent bone loss.
