Purpose Simulated clinical events provide a means to evaluate a practitioner’s performance
in a standardized manner for all candidates that are tested. We sought to provide evidence …

Background: To study how the systematic use of intraoperative skull-femoral traction (IOSFT)
in posterior arthrodesis for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) impacts perioperative …

RESULTS: Five patients were recruited into the study. The radiological position of the intercrestal
line was either L4 or L4/5 in each patient studied. The marker, which was placed on the …
