    Definition
      Traction is the 
     application of a 
     pulling force to a 
     part of the body 
      History 
       The use of traction dates as far 
       back as 3000 years ( ancient 
       Egyptians ).
       Hippocrates (350BC) wrote about 
       manual traction and the forces of 
       extension and counter 
       extension.
       Guy de Chauliac (1300-1368) 
       introduce the continuous traction

      fractures for more than 100 years 
       Bone reduced and held by soft tissue 
       Less risk of infection at fracture site 
       Allows more joint mobility than plaster 
     Purpose of traction 
        To regain normal length and alignment of 
       involved bone.
        To reduce and immobilize a fracture bone 
        To relieve or eliminate muscle spasm.
