Leg Traction Setup for Fracture Recovery - Medical Illustration #47473 (License: Personal Use)

This medical illustration depicts a lower limb fracture being treated with skin traction-where a cast-encased leg is suspended from an overhead frame using straps and pulleys to apply gentle, continuous pull. The setup helps align bones, relieve muscle spasms, and minimize swelling, commonly used for femoral or tibial fractures before or after surgery. It’s especially valuable in pediatric orthopedics and non-surgical management protocols.

Used on orthopedic clinic websites, patient education portals, and rehabilitation resource pages; targets users seeking visual understanding of fracture care, traction mechanics, or post-injury recovery steps.
