INT ORTHOP , 2002, vol. 26, n° 6, p. 361-364 Doc n°: 108150 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : DE34 - TRAUMATISMES - HANCHE We performed a prospective randomised trial to evaluate the efficacy of pre-operative skin traction for proximal femoral fractures in 311 patients. We found a significant difference in pain score on the evening of admission and the first morning after admission between the groups with traction compared the group without. However, there was no corresponding increase in analgesic requirement during this period. The peak pain score pattern also was different in our population. No other objective benefit can be shown from using skin traction, and its routine use should be abandoned. Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI Identifiant basis : 2003226232 |
