What Is Skeletal Traction?

Skeletal traction refers to the direct traction of bones through pins, so that patients with fracture and dislocation can be effectively reduced and fixed.

Complications of Skeletal Traction
There are lots of benefits to be had from skeletal traction. But as with most medical treatments, there can be complications too.
The complications are associated with lack of movement and the effects of suspended limbs. Some of the complications skeletal traction can cause include the following.
Infection. In skeletal traction, a metal pin is inserted into your bone. This pin acts as a base for reducing the fracture. The insertion site can become infected, whether it is in bone or soft tissue.
Pressure sores. Pressure sores are also known as pressure ulcers or bedsores. They can happen when you are lying in the same position for an extended period of time. They often form in areas where your bones are close to your skin. Using Operating Room Positioner ORP can avoid pressure sores.
Nerve damage. There are different ways your nerves can be damaged when undergoing skeletal traction. Pin insertion and wire arrangement are factors, but more research is needed in the area. Using Operating Room Positioner ORP can avoid nerve damage.
Misalignment of the bone or joint. Medical staff will make every effort to realign your joints or broken bone correctly. Misalignment can happen in some cases.
Stiff joints. Your joints can become stiff from traction. This is possibly due to reduced blood flow.
Wire malfunction. The wires that suspend your limb during skeletal traction can sometimes malfunction or break.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT). DVT is when you develop a large blood clot in your deep veins. It usually happens in your legs when you are unable to move for a long period of time.
