    Disclaimer: I'm not an Ortho Nurse, but I BELIEVE this type of traction is termed Buck's Traction.

    (I'm gonna check back on this thread to read what somebody who knows what they're talking about answers.)

    It's called skeletal traction. Buck's traction is an external form of traction.

    I agree with torture...lol..sorry..Looks like its traction, not a ortho test,thats for sure. Looks like its Bucks traction to me.

    If that's a pin on the inside of the knee it's skeletal tx. Buck's tx is external.

    Ebear, thanks for providing Steinman pins. It's been at least 100 years since I did any orthopedics and I knew those things had a name I just couldn't remember what.
