Equinus contracture following Bryant's traction

M W Clark et al. Orthopedics. 1978 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

A case of a 14-year-old girl with both foot and hip sequelae secondary to the use of Bryant's traction at the age of 2 years, 8 months, is presented. It serves as a reminder of the dangers of Bryant's traction, which should be used with discretion, if at all.
