ABSTRACT:
A cervical traction tong having three or more skull pins for rigid attachment to the head of a spinal-fracture patient. The tong includes a movable attachment member for anchoring a tension line at a variety of angulations enabling adjustment of the tension-line force vector in fore-and-aft and side-to-side directions. Connectors are adjustably fitted at opposite lower ends of the tong for coupling to fixation rods extending from a body cast or vest, and thereby permitting an easy and controlled transition from tension line to fixation rods as a source of tension force acting on the head.
