HALO GRAVITY TRACTION - Making Severe Scoliosis Surgery Safer!

Severe scoliosis, especially curves greater than 80–90 degrees, is not just a cosmetic concern. It can affect lung function, heart function, and overall quality of life. Correcting such large and rigid spinal deformities can be challenging, particularly because of the possibility of neurological complications. In this video, we explain a safer and more effective approach — Halo Gravity Traction. This technique allows gradual correction of severe spinal curves over time, improving spinal flexibility and reducing the risks associated with definitive corrective surgery. 🔍 What you’ll learn in this video: • What is severe scoliosis? • Why large curves are risky to correct suddenly • What is Halo Gravity Traction? • How gradual correction improves surgical safety • Which patients may benefit from this technique • Expected outcomes after treatment 👨‍⚕️ About the speaker Dr. Nigil Palliyil Associate Professor – Orthopaedic Spine Surgery Amrita Hospital, Kochi, India This channel (Spine Focus) aims to simplify complex spine conditions and treatments for patients, families, and healthcare learners. 📞 For appointments / consultations Amrita Hospital, Kochi ☎️ +91 484 2852100 ☎️ +91 484 6682100 ⚠️ Medical Disclaimer This video is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
