摘要
A modified form of Neufeld's skeletal traction is described. This technique is a useful method of treating children and adolescents with femoral or pelvic fractures. The advantage over standard femoral skeletal traction is early mobilization of the patient to a sitting position. Additionally, the patient can be placed in this form of traction at home, allowing earlier discharge from the hospital.
