Open reduction and internal fixation is used to treat complex acetabular fractures. Traction on the femur is necessary to reduce the acetabulum and is accomplished by surgical assistants or with mechanical devices. To overcome the disadvantages of various traction methods, the author designed a simple, novel traction device that can be used on an ordinary orthopedic or radiolucent operating table and has advantages over manual traction and commercial traction tables. The device consists of a horizontal cross-bar supported over the patient by 2 free-standing legs and is constructed from commercially available parts.
切开复位内固定术用于治疗复杂髋臼骨折。为了使髋臼复位，需要对股骨进行牵引，这可由手术助手完成或使用机械设备。为克服各种牵引方法的缺点，作者设计了一种简单、新颖的牵引装置，该装置可在普通骨科手术台或可透射线手术台上使用，且优于手动牵引和商用牵引台。该装置由一根水平横杆组成，横杆由两条独立的支腿支撑在患者上方，由市售部件构成。
