Shave off the fine hair of the limb. Apply some benzoic tincture for increasing the viscosity and decreasing the stimulation of adhesive plaster to the skin. Cut out the adhesive plaster according to the length and width needed. Stick a small plank with a hole in its center onto the center of adhesive plaster. Tear up about 10 to 30 cm from the two ends of the plaster and place a little cotton on the prominence of bone. Then, stick the plaster on the diseased limb and bind it. Finally, tie a traction rope to the center of the small square plank, put the diseased limb on a traction frame, install a pulley and traction weight, and raise one end of the bed for making an opposite traction by using the patient weight. The skin traction, being simple and easy to apply, is often used for injury and diseases of bones and joints of lower limb, such as fracture and suppurative arthritis of children under 12 years old. However, the traction weight should not be too heavy (less than 5 kg). Patients who have wound in the skin or are allergic to adhesive plaster should not receive the traction.
