Utility of 2.0 mm diameter Kirschner wires assembled with Wu’s Tension Traction Bows in calcaneal skeletal traction

Abstract The 3.5 mm diameter or thicker Steinmann pins were commonly used in skeletal traction, which are so highly invasive that may result in severe complications such as pin tract infection and iatrogenic calcaneus fractures. Accordingly, Xirui Wu designed a new type of tension traction bow that...
