It is indicated for femoral shaft and hip fractures! The Heelift Traction Boot should be used for preoperative stabilization (Buck’s skin traction) before femoral fracture stabilization surgery. After surgical stabilization, the traction straps are removed, and it is used to prevent/treat heel or malleolar pressure ulcers while controlling external rotation and foot drop.
