The goal of traction
- Stabilize bone fracture.
- Maintain proper body alignment.
- Reduce bone fracture.
- Alleviate muscle spasm.
- Rectify and prevent deformity.
- Release muscular tissue adhesion.

Cautions
- Tighten all traction ropes located at the wheel of the ditch pulleys,
- Align the 2nd toe with hauling rope and pulley.
- Do not place anything on the rope or have it twisted with knots.
- The weight should be vertically stabilized and suspended.
- Place a pillow under the lesion site to support the limbs.
- Maintain a proper distance between patients’ feet and bed end.
- Maintain a fixed position within the patient, pulley, and weight.
- There should be no loosened, weariness, and broken rope under all conditions.
- No one is allowed to move, or add or subtract weight on the pulley unless it’s the instruction given by the attending physician.
Possible complications include:
- Neural paralysis.
- Local symptom like painfulness, paleness, paraesthesia, and paralysis.
- Limbs swelling.
- Constipation.
- Skin necrosis or hypersensibility of the compressed site.

- To avoid muscle contracture, do abdominal exercise, inhale and exhale deep breathe, and move isotonic and isometric muscle.
