The act of pulling.<\/p>\n
A procedure that consists of using a pulling force to straighten a broken or deformed limb.<\/p>\n
In orthopedics, to place a bone or limb under tension to immobilize the part, align parts in a particular way, or relieve pressure.<\/p>\n
The process of putting a limb, bone, or group of muscles under tension by means of weights and pulleys to align or immobilize the part to reduce muscle spasm or to relieve pressure.<\/p>\n
A treatment procedure that uses a pulling force to prevent or reduce muscle spasm, to keep a joint or other body part stationary, or to hold the ends of broken bones in place. Skin traction is a form of traction that uses dressings, belts, halters, boots, or straps that may be attached to an arm, the head, a leg, or the pelvis. Skin traction is noninvasive and may be done at home under medical supervision. It is used to treat muscle injuries such as muscle spasm, some bone fractures, slipped disks, and arthritic conditions.<\/p>\n
The application of a pulling force as a means of counteracting the natural tension in the tissues surrounding a broken bone. This tension makes correct alignment of the fragments difficult. Considerable force, exerted with weights, ropes, and pulleys, may be necessary to ensure that a broken femur is kept correctly positioned during the early stages of healing.<\/p>\n
The application of a pulling force to the distal part of a fracture in order to allow the fracture to heal with the bone in correct alignment. There are many different methods for applying traction, usually involving weights and pulleys.<\/p>\n
The technique of subjecting a bone, limb, or cluster of muscles to a state of tension through the utilization of weights and pulleys. The objective is to readjust or immobilize the specific region, alleviating strain on the area and fostering recuperation while reinstating functionality.<\/p>\n
A technique where a portion of the body is subjected to tension to rectify the alignment of neighboring structures or to secure their position is known as traction. This method is predominantly employed to address fractures where muscles around the bone ends are causing misalignment.<\/p>\n
