Skeletal Traction Following Orthopaedic Trauma: Indications, Techniques, and Evidence …

Objectives: To determine if distal femoral traction pins result in knee dysfunction in patients
with femoral or pelvic fracture, and to determine if skeletal traction relieves pain more …

Introduction Cutaneous traction is used to temporize lower extremity fractures and relies on
friction between the skin and surrounding material to apply a longitudinal force. This …

Objectives: To compare the advantages and disadvantages of preoperative cutaneous
traction versus skeletal traction in adults with diaphyseal femur fractures amenable to …

Introduction Internal or external fixation of the femur is common following trauma.
Neurovascular structures around the shaft of the femur are at risk, particularly the superficial …

Objectives Septic arthritis following intra-capsular penetration of the knee by external fixation
devices is a complication of traction/fixation devices inserted in the lower extremity [1],[2] …

Intra-osseous pin sites used in Computer Navigated knee Arthroplasty are known to cause
complications including infection, neurovascular injury, thermal necrosis and peri-prosthetic …

Purpose Fractures of the lower extremity, particularly of the femur and acetabulum, may be
difficult to immobilize with splinting alone. These injuries may be best stabilized with the …

Objectives: To examine the frequency of intra-articular placement of distal femoral traction
pins and their proximity to the superficial femoral artery (SFA). Methods: Wires were placed …
