A device for generating passive motion of a joint while applying traction has a proximal bracket for engaging a pin drilled into a proximal bone adjacent to the joint, and a distal bracket for engaging a pin drilled into a distal bone adjacent to the joint. The two brackets are connected by a tension-hinge mechanism which includes a hinge for permitting relative rotational movement of the brackets, and an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism is configured to allow substantially continuous adjustment of the distance between the hinge and at least one of the brackets so as to apply tension across the joint. The adjustment mechanism also includes a number of elastic elements deployed so as to allow elastic variation of the distance between the two brackets.
