Operative Traction Technique for an Intertrochanteric Femur Fracture in a Patient with Transfemoral Amputation: A Case Report.

We describe a unique technique to manipulate an amputated extremity using 2 Schanz pins attached to a weight through a traction rope. This practical technique provided adequate skeletal traction for reduction and internal fixation in our case and can be performed on a standard radiolucent table without the need for special table attachments.
