HGT is a safe technique as the world literature describes complications in the form of loosening of the pins or superficial infections of the skin around the pins, which are not significant and do not pose a threat to the patient’s life. Purpose – to improve the results of the ventilation function of the lungs in patients with complex spinal deformities through the preliminary use of halo gravity traction and to introduce an effective and safe method for the treatment of complex spinal deformities in children with respiratory dysfunctions. Materials and methods. 64 children with complex spinal deformities (&gt;100°) were treated in the orthopedic and traumatology department of the Okhmatdet NSPU using halo gravity traction during the period from 2003 until 2018. Of these, 38 are boys and 26 are girls. The average age of the patients was 11.6 years. The average Risser score was 3.8 (P&gt;0.01). Results. According to the data of spirography performed, 46% of patients had moderate ventilation disorders and 54% – severe ventilation disorders (FVC 100°). This study was conducted in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The research protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the institutions mentioned in the work. Informed parental agreement was obtained for the research. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors. Key words: spinal deformity, respiratory dysfunctions, halo-gravity traction.
