摘要:
Traction apparatuses can be used to facilitate spinal surgery. For example, this document provides traction apparatuses that engage with the skull of a patient, traction apparatuses that engage with the pelvis of a patient, and cervical traction systems for use in conjunction with the skull and/or pelvis traction apparatuses to facilitate correction of occipito-cervical-thoracic deformities, and to safely position the head during spinal surgery. Additionally, this document provides thoraco-lumbar-pelvic spinal deformity correction apparatuses to manipulate the position of the pelvis in relation to the spine during surgery.
