ABSTRACT:
A traction device for treating a fracture in the femur bone of a child between the ages of 3 to 10 is described. A special frame and pelvic belt used in conjunction with adjustable tensioning devices is fitted to a child for the treatment of the fracture of the femur bone. This specialized traction device in one embodiment utilizes a pin through the lower part of the femur bone to provide tension to the leg and in another embodiment a leg wrap connected to a sole plate provides tension to the leg. A sling to relieve the downward load of the child patient's leg is provided on one embodiment and there is also provided a leg support under the knee to further relieve the down load resulting from the weight of the leg.
