Abstract
This was a study of slow and gradual (at least 2 months) preoperative traction for osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Results show that correction was significant with minimal complications after final fusion. Most significant correction in traction occurred within the 1st month but progressive correction was achieved beyond that.
