Ancient Bone-Pulling technique put to modern test

NCT ID NCT06160804

Summary

This study aimed to find out if using skeletal traction (a system of weights and pulleys) on a broken thigh bone before surgery makes the operation faster or easier. Researchers compared surgery time, pain medication needs, and blood loss between patients who received traction and those who did not. The goal was to see if this old method still provides benefits when surgery happens within 24 hours.
