title: [Preoperative halo-gravity traction in scoliosis (author's transl)].
abstract: Clinical experience gained with halo-gravity traction since 1974 is described. The advantage of halo-gravity traction as compared to other types of traction treatment is discussed. Measurements are described, which serve to monitor the treatment and which can be used to predict the final result of the preoperative traction treatment.
