Biomechanical comparison of suspensory traction and axial traction in preoperative correction of cervical kyphosis: a finite element study
Compared with axial traction, suspensory traction has better kyphotic corrective effect, while reduces the length of the cervical spinal canal and the stress on the cervical vertebral body, which decreases the possibility of nerve damage and iatrogenic fracture during traction from a biomechanical point of view.
