Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Skeletal traction involves the surgical insertion of a pin or wire directly into a bone, typically in the leg or arm. Traction is then applied to the pin/wire to align and immobilize the bones during the healing process. This provides more consistent and stable traction than other methods, such as manual or straight traction.
