Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) fixation is a standard surgical intervention for the treatment of intertrochanteric and certain subtrochanteric femoral fractures. The procedure often necessitates the use of a traction table equipped with a specialized traction boot to maintain limb alignment, provide controlled traction, and facilitate optimal fracture reduction 1. The traction boot applies axial force to the foot and lower limb, allowing the surgeon to manipulate the fracture site. Despite its widespread use and generally favorable outcomes, this method is not without complications.
