In the medical field, traction refers to the practice of slowly and gently pulling on a fractured or dislocated body part. Itâs often done using ropes, pulleys, and weights. These tools help apply force to the tissues surrounding the damaged area. The purpose of traction is to guide the body part back into place and hold it steady.
Skin Traction. Skin traction is far less invasive than skeletal traction. It involves applying splints, bandages, or adhesive tapes to the skin directly below the fracture. Once the material has been applied, weights are fastened to it. The affected body part is then pulled into the right position using a pulley system attached to the hospital bed.
