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.
Other forms of skeletal traction are tibia pin traction, for fractures of the pelvis, hip, or femur; and overhead arm traction, used in certain upper arm fractures. Cervical traction is used when the neck vertebrae are fractured. For tibial traction, a pin is surgically placed in the lower leg (A).
