Cervical traction and lumbopelvic traction are commonly prescribed for relief of neck pain and low back pain, respectively. Scientific validation of efficacy is scant, but considerable empirical benefit has been observed. In the absence of contraindications and with appropriate application, cervical and lumbopelvic traction may be used to provide symptomatic relief of neck and low back pain.

Background: Displaced U- or H-shaped sacral fractures (Roy-Camille Grade II or III) are treated at our institution by early transcondylar traction and manual countertraction, hyperlordosis induced by a pad positioned under the lumbo-sacral junction, and percutaneous ilio-sacral screw fixation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the outcome of this technique used in a level 1 trauma centre. Hypothesis Our early reduction technique provides anatomical reduction of U- or H-shaped sacral fractures by correcting the sagittal malalignment due to the intra-sacral kyphosis, thereby obviating the need for decompression laminectomy and improving neurological outcomes.

Spinopelvic injuries result from high energy trauma with overloading through the sacrum. These lesions can accomplish either bone fractures, ligament injuries or, most commonly, both. They may be accompanied with other associated life threatening injuries and cause biomechanical instability with potential fracture non-union, mal-union and subsequent lifetime pain and disability.
