Describe buck's traction. What nursing interventions would be
appropriate to consider for patientsneeding this treatment? Ans✓✓✓
Buck's traction is a type of skin traction that is widely used for broken
femurs and hips, as well as fractures in the socket portion of the "ball-
and-socket" hip joint.
In skin traction a Velcro boot (Buck traction), belt, halter, or sling
(bandage for supporting a part) is applied snugly to the skin, and the
traction is attached to the appliance (Fig. 39.3). Skin traction has the
advantage of being noninvasive, its main purpose being to decrease
muscle spasm that accompanies fractures. Damage from skin traction
includes blisters, rashes from irritation by adhesives, and skin tears and
tissue injuries from the shearing effects of the lateral pull across the skin
surface. The amount of weight that can be applied is limited to a
maximum of 10 to 15 pounds. Skin traction should not be used if the
fracture requires 15 pounds (6.7 kg) or more of tractive weight. Skin
traction is generally not used with older adults because of their fragile
skin. Check the skin frequently for any indications of injury; report any
problems or skin pain immediately to the primary care provider or
traction tec
