Static traction is the medical termanology reffering to the use of weights or machines to provide PERSISTANT pull(with the patients body and the angle of the bed as a counterweight or counterpull). It is used to keep a fracture straight whilst it is healing. It is also used to relieve pressure on the spine or parts of the skeletal system.
