traction lietuviškai

Paaiškinimas anglų kalba

• (orthopedics) the act of pulling on a bone or limb (as in a fracture) to relieve pressure or align parts in a special way during healing "his leg was in traction for several days"
• the friction between a body and the surface on which it moves (as between an automobile tire and the road)
• The pull on a limb or a part thereof. Skin traction (indirect traction) is applied by using a bandage to pull on the skin and fascia where light traction is required. Skeletal traction (direct traction), however, uses pins or wires inserted through bone and is attached to weights, pulleys, and ropes.
