Distraction rods can be challenging to use in patients with existing fusion masses. The authors report an internal distraction, construct-to-construct rod technique using multiple-hook fixation in a patient with a sharply angulated cervicothoracic scoliosis fusion mass.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n OBSERVATIONS<\/jats:title>\n A 12-year-old female with previously diagnosed congenital scoliosis who had undergone cervical fusion in situ at age 2 presented to the clinic with shortness of breath exacerbated by increased levels of activity. Standing anteroposterior and lateral scoliosis radiographs revealed a left >150\u00b0 cervicothoracic curve, right 140\u00b0 thoracolumbar curve, and left 28\u00b0 lumbosacral fractional curve with pelvic obliquity. The authors indicated this patient for a 3-stage all-posterior approach for spinal fusion and deformity correction. In the final fusion surgery, the authors set up a construct-to-construct internal distraction configuration connecting the left hemipelvis to the cervicothoracic fusion mass to aid in deformity correction.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n LESSONS<\/jats:title>\n A construct-to-construct internal distraction rod technique connecting a fusion mass to the pelvis can assist with curve correction in severe scoliosis.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/case2433","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,11]],"date-time":"2024-03-11T13:00:44Z","timestamp":1710162044000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Fusion mass to pelvis internal distraction technique using multiple-hook fixation for scoliosis correction: illustrative case"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"J.
