Impact of halo-pelvic traction duration on pulmonary improvement quantified by pulmonary function tests and three-dimensional lung reconstruction in severe rigid kyphoscoliosis: a prospective cohort study

Abstract Background Severe and rigid kyphoscoliosis, characterized by extreme spinal curvature > 100° and limited flexibility < 30%, significantly impacts pulmonary function. While halo-pelvic traction (HPT) is an established method for improving lung function in patients with scoliosis, the o...
