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
