traction


In bucks traction, would you want the foot to touch the foot plate? And is it ok to have a pillow under both the knee and heel?

Default Re: traction
No to the foot plate probably no to the pillows as they would reduce the traction. OTOH most docs now days say bucks just keeps them still and not much else.
