Abstract: We prove the following result: Let $(mathcalO,g_0)$ be a complete, connected 3-orbifold with uniformly positive scalar curvature, with bounded geometry, and containing no bad 2-suborbifolds. Then there is a finite collection $mathcalF$ of spherical 3-orbifolds, such that $mathcalO$ is diffeomorphic to a (possibly infinite) orbifold connected sum of copies of members in $mathcalF$. This extends work of Perelman and Bessi$gravee$res-Besson-Maillot. The proof uses Ricci flow with surgery on complete 3-orbifolds, and are along the lines of the author's previous work on 4-orbifolds with positive isotropic curvature.
