No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The term Ligamentotaxis is used to define the method of distal traction to realign joint surfaces and reduce articular fragments after complex fractures.

Traction and mobilization can be combined to help deliver the best outcome.

This study will present a dynamic traction orthosis design with the aim that it is easy-to-make, non-invasive, low-profile and allow for ease in performing active and passive exercises. The clinical effectiveness of this method will be examined by analyzing treatment outcomes in a case series cohort.
