[Measurements of the tensile force in the halo-pelvic apparatus and in the halo-Milwaukee brace (author' transl)].
A measuring device for static and dynamic recordings of the tensile force in the halo-pelvic apparatus and in the halo-Milwaukee brace was developed. The results present a survey of the tensil forces being effective during the preoperative traction in dependence on the extension distance and the duration of the treatment. The considerable variations of the tensile force, especially the high peak values, which were recorded during the normal day-to-day routine of the patients in the ward room, lead to the conclusion, that halo-gravity or halo-femoral traction is to be preferred to traction by the halo-pelvic apparatus or by the halo-Milwaukee-brace.
