Summary

Traction pin placement is a common way to temporarily manage femur fractures and unstable acetabular fractures while awaiting surgery. Skeletal traction is thought to reduce patient discomfort by improving fracture alignment as well as relaxing muscle spasm pain felt from the broken bone by stretching out the leg. Skeletal traction may also help prevent articular surface damage in the hip by decreasing joint pressure. Despite the benefits of skeletal traction, insertion of the traction pin can be a painful and unpleasant experience for the patient. Our study hopes to see if listening to music with headphones during insertion of the traction pin decrease patient pain and anxiety.

Conditions
