This document discusses different types of traction used in medical treatment, including skin traction methods like Buck's extension, Russell's traction, and Bryant's traction that use belts and harnesses on the body. It also covers skeletal traction techniques such as overhead arm traction, balanced suspension traction, skeletal tongs, and halo traction that apply traction directly to the bones. Halo traction, in particular, uses a ring placed around the head to immobilize the skull and neck.
