AbstractA 39-year-old woman with severe Scheuermann's kyphosis complaining of back pain was treated surgically. The following operations were performed in stages to correct a fixed kyphosis: (1) total diskectomy through an anterior approach; (2) application of the halo pelvic distraction apparatus; (3) anterior spine fusion following correction by spinal distraction. She was relieved of her complaints and deformity at a 3 year follow-up examination.
