Heya✌️☺️❤️

Explanation:

✏️Skin Traction

Skin traction is used in the treatment of conditions for which only a small amount of pull is required. It is often used for:-

• Immobilization of extremities after internal fixation of fractures

• Immobilization of extremities after internal fixation of fracturesFor the relief of muscle spasm in low back pain

• Immobilization of extremities after internal fixation of fracturesFor the relief of muscle spasm in low back painFor immobilization of septic joints.

✏️Skeletal traction:-

It requires pins or screws, or wires to be driven into the bone which allows putting traction directly on the skeleton. It is used in cases where a heavier pull is required or when skin traction is not appropriate for the body part needing treatment.
