Description |
Traction was a common form of treatment for bone fractures. Force is used to correctly realign bones which have been broken. This early apparatus, made from wood, iron and leather would also have been used to treat dislocation of joints. Devices like this were developed in the West following the re-emergence of ancient Greek medical texts, which featured the technique. Traction was later used to treat orthopaedic conditions such as scoliosis. maker: Unknown maker Place made: Italy Wellcome Images |
