Abstract

We present 3 patients who had extreme lumbar kyphosis and

were treated with halo-pelvic traction (HPT) and anteropos-
terior fixation. In addition, we also describe a modified halo-
pelvic apparatus that helps to relieve the discomfort and incon-
venience of HPT.

Preoperative and postoperative data are summarized in
Table 1, and radiographic measurements are given in Table 2.
