People who follow Shake Shack may find many scoliosis patients wearing a “tight band” on their heads, sharing their traction routine, so they come to me and ask: I have 60 degrees of scoliosis, do I need to do traction before surgery? Actually, it’s not true! The need for traction before surgery is determined by the severity of the scoliosis. The patients we do traction on are usually those with particularly severe scoliosis, or severe scoliosis with respiratory failure. In order to reduce the risk and difficulty of surgery, we perform traction to correct some of the scoliosis before surgery, and then perform surgery on that basis, which greatly increases the safety of surgery. Therefore, not every patient needs to have traction before surgery. For patients who have traction at Shenzhen University General Hospital, we use our original Halo head ring traction aid. This traction method is more free compared to other traction methods: 1. During the traction process, basic daily life such as sleeping, eating, bathing, etc. are basically not affected, and patients can stop traction at any time to get rest, and the pain level is low. 2.Traction can be done anytime and anywhere. When taking a walk, chatting, reading a book, watching TV, etc., traction treatment can be carried out at the same time, without any obvious limitation of daily life, even a group of halo traction patients playing games together. 3.The traction weight is gradually increased, and the traction weight can be adjusted at any time. It avoids various complications caused by too much traction weight or too rapid increase in weight, such as neck strain injury and excessive nerve strain injury.
