ABSTRACT
La corrección quirúrgica de la escoliosis idiopática es tema de controversia, en cuanto a su efectividad en el plano transverso. La deformidad no ocurre por rotación sino por desplazamiento ventrolateral de la columna. Pensamos que con un nuevo instrumento, siguiendo la técnica de Cotrel-Dubousset y con la experiencia del Dr. Luque, en México, se logrará la corrección en todos los planos. Los pacientes tratados tenían una escoliosis idiopática operaron 8, aquí mostramos la evaluación postoperatoria de 2, siete meses después de la cirugía, donde se logró la disminución de la escoliosis costal y la medialización de las vértebras en los planos sagital, coronal y transverso, se espera que la modificación será mayor además de la ausencia de complicaciones postquirúrgicas

Traction is a treatment modality used for the reduction or immobilization of fractures or dislocations. It is used to maintain alignment, decrease muscle spasms, relieve pain, correct, lessen or prevent deformities, expand joint spaces prior to surgery, promote rest to diseased or injured body parts and to promote exercise. Nurses need a working knowledge of the various types of traction along with its rationale, correct setup, and maintenance. They must become familiar with potential complications and use nursing diagnoses to work with patients to strive to achieve expected patient outcomes.
