A modified method of skeletal traction by the pelvis and bones of the lower extremities was used in 18 patients with the complicated trauma of the thoracic and lumbar parts of the spine. The method was shown to be highly efficient to prevent decubitus and facilitated management of the patients resulting in a simultaneous correction and fixation of the injured segments of the spine.
