Aim:

To review the use of traction x-rays under anaesthesia in Late Onset Scoliosis to correlate traction x-ray flexibility and postoperative correction using posterior nonsegmental all pedicle screw constructs.

Methods:

Prospective study. Preoperative anteroposterior, lateral and side bending x-rays were done and Cobb angles were measured. Intraoperatively, traction anteroposterior x-rays were taken under anaesthesia and Cobb angles were measured. All patients underwent nonsegmental posterior all pedicle screw construct correction using Biomet implants. Cobb angles greater than 60 degees were included in the study. Calculations were done including correction rate, traction flexibility and traction correction index. Results were entered onto an excel spreadsheet and analyzed using Statistica software.
