Summary

Halo pelvic fixation uses traction force for correction of spinal curvature or dislocation, such as lumbosacral spondylolisthesis, scoliosis, or tuberculous kyphosis, as well as for immobilizing the spine. The pelvic halo consists of a pelvic hoop with two pins, a skull halo, and four vertical threaded bars that connect the pelvic hoop and the skull halo. This service also includes removal of the pelvic halo.
