ELASTIC TRACTION ASSISTING CORRECTION OF CLUB FEET

HAROLD A. SOFIELD M.D.1

1 Assistant Chief Surgeon, Shriners' Hospitals for Crippled Children, Chicago Unit

1. Elastic traction may be used to shorten materially the length of time necessary for the correction of club feet.

2. This traction provides a constant, effective pressure which brings about change in position slowly, and permits the circulation to readjust itself to the changing position.

3. By means of elastic bands a variety of different units of force can be applied, making this form of traction adaptable to practically all types of club feet.
