Skeletal traction - AO Foundation Surgery Reference
Skeletal traction can be applied either through a distal femoral or proximal tibial pin. The application of the latter is shown here. Skeletal traction may have multiple serious complications: Pin-track infections; Muscle wasting; Prolonged bed immobilization with resultant bed sores; Increased resource utilization (nursing care)
How To Perform: Proximal Tibial Skeletal Traction
This article will discuss the proper application of a skeletal traction pin through the proximal tibia. Before performing, it is important to understand the anatomical considerations involved in skeletal traction through the tibia.
Tibial Skeletal Traction - Musculoskeletal Key
2016年8月24日 · Tibial traction is accomplished with placement of a pin across the proximal tibial metadiaphysis and attachment to a pulley system secured to the bed. Indications for use Femoral shaft fractures
Traction - Musculoskeletal Key
2016年6月12日 · Proximal tibial traction is reserved for adults. To avoid physeal injury in children with resultant recurvation deformity, distal femoral traction proximal to the distal femoral physis is used. For larger Steinmann pins, a Bohler bow is used (B) .

2020年5月29日 · If floating knee (femur fracture with tibia fracture) consider calc traction. The more proximal traction that you can use is generally better than distal traction (femur > knee > calc) Set up bed first with bars and rope . Set up your equipment ahead of time
Gaining Traction with Femoral Shaft Fractures
2016年10月28日 · There are two recognized locations for traction pin insertion in the setting of a femoral shaft fracture. One is at the distal end of the femur, while the other is at the proximal portion of the tibia. The tibial location is often less technically challenging, as anatomical landmarks are easily identifiable. Using the tibial location for the ...

A Novel Technique in Applying Skeletal Traction for Long Bone …
We propose a novel technique in applying skeletal traction. Two Denham pins are placed into the proximal tibia 2.5 cm posterior to and 2.5 cm distal to tibial tubercle (Fig. 1). The pins are then connected with a Hoffmann external flexator connector producing a stable construct.
