RADIOGRAPHIC EVALUATION OF SURGICAL CORRECTION OF SCOLIOSIS DUE TO CEREBRAL PALSY USING INTRA-OPERATIVE TRACTION AND NEW CORRECTION TECHNIQUE WITH 3RD PROVISIONAL ROD

ABSTRACT Objective: Evaluate the radiographic results of patients with cerebral palsy and Lonstein and Akbarnia type II scoliosis who underwent intraoperative halofemoral traction (IFAT) and correction with a 3rd provisional nail. Methods: Retrospective case series study. Were evaluated preoperative (PRE), traction (TR), immediate (POI), and late (POT) total spine radiographs. Were verified the angular value of the main curve (COBB), pelvic obliquity (OP), trunk balance in the coronal plane (CSVA), vertical sagittal alignment (SVA), curve flexibility, and percentage of correction in the final PO. Friedam and Wilcoxon tests were performed (p
