Leg Traction Therapy for Fracture Recovery - Medical Illustration #37758 (License: Personal Use)

This diagram depicts a lower limb immobilized in a full-leg cast and suspended via a pulley-and-strap traction setup, commonly used for femoral or tibial fractures. The system applies gentle longitudinal force to reduce muscle spasm, align bone fragments, and promote optimal healing. It’s often employed in hospital settings before or after surgical intervention.

Used on orthopedic, trauma care, or patient education web pages to explain non-surgical fracture management; matches user intent for understanding treatment options, recovery timelines, or preparing for hospital care.
