Leg Traction Therapy for Fracture Recovery - Medical Illustration #3052448 (License: Personal Use)

This medical illustration shows a lower limb encased in a rigid cast, suspended by a triangular sling attached to an overhead traction bar with pulleys. The setup applies gentle longitudinal force to reduce muscle spasm, maintain alignment, and promote proper bone healing-typically for mid-shaft femur or tibial fractures. It reflects a non-surgical management approach often used before definitive fixation.

Used on orthopedic care websites, patient education portals, or rehabilitation guides to explain traction therapy; matches user intent seeking visual understanding of fracture treatment methods or post-injury care protocols.
