How to do traction on a fracture

Fractures for traction, can be used skin traction, skeletal traction, etc., the specific operation is as follows: 1, skin traction: for younger patients, muscle atrophy of the elderly, as well as short-term braking, can be used skin traction. It can be fixed to the skin by adhesive tape, and traction can be carried out by pulley set and scales, and usually traction should not be more than four weeks.2. Skeletal traction: such as supracondylar femoral traction and proximal tibial traction can keep the fracture stable and suitable for long term traction, and it can correct the overlapping displacement of the fracture and the fracture deformity, which is helpful to promote the smooth healing of the fracture, and it can be used as the preoperative preparation before the surgery. Through the above two methods of traction, the fracture end can be stabilized, and the patient’s pain symptoms will be improved in a short period of time.
