Following the HPT ( mean duration 19.2 weeks), the mean coronal Cobb angle were corrected to 55.3° post-traction (50.6%) and 47.4° after PSF (58.3%); the mean MK angle were corrected to 52.6° post-traction (49.5%) and 38.1° after PSF (63.4%). The overall complication rate during HPT was 16.4%, while surgery-related complications were 18.0%, with no permanent neurological deficits observed.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Staged HPT combine with PSF is effective and safe for patients with severe rigid spine deformities. HPT could mitigate the severity of spine deformity, minimize the need for invasive three-column osteotomies, and reduce the risk of complications for correction surgery.</p>","PeriodicalId":16629,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research","volume":"20 1","pages":"341"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11969806/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143788540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
