Leg traction before surgery: does it help or hurt?
NCT ID NCT06160804
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study looked at whether applying gentle traction (pulling) to the leg before surgery makes it easier for surgeons to fix a broken thigh bone. The researchers compared patients who got traction to those who did not, measuring how long the surgery took, pain levels, and blood loss. The study was stopped early after enrolling 18 adults, so results are limited.
