1Department of Orthopedics, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu Sichuan, 610041, PR China.
Objective:
To summarize the current development of the correction of severe and rigid scoliosis.
Methods:
Recent literature concerning the correction of severe and rigid scoliosis at home and abroad was extensively reviewed, and current developments of the correction of severe and rigid scoliosis were summarized.
Results:
The correction of severe and rigid scoliosis shows developments as follows: the application of Halo-gravity traction increase and Halo-femoral traction is applied in posterior correction surgery. Fixation and correction technique with all pedicle screws was gradually popularized. The applications of posterior vertebral column resection, one-stage anterior and posterior surgery, and posterior-only correction surgery increase.
Conclusion:
The developments of all kinds of correction techniques improve the correction effects of severe and rigid scoliosis. Now there is no standardized treatment protocol for severe and rigid scoliosis. Greater development can be expected in the future
