Buck's traction

Orthopedics An apparatus for applying longitudinal traction on the leg by contact between the skin and adhesive tape, for maintaining the proper alignment of a leg fracture; friction between the tape and skin permits application of force through a cord over a pulley, suspending a weight; elevation of the foot of the bed allows the body to act as a counterweight; a type of traction in which a nonconstricting boot with weights is worn by the Pt to maintain proper alignment. See Traction.
