Abstract
A cervical traction tong assembly for mounting cranial pins to the head of a spinal fracture patient. The cervical tong assembly includes an arcuate central support member having a pair of movable coupling assemblies connected to the ends thereof for radial movement relative to the central support. A pair of straps for carrying cranial pins are rotatably mounted to each of the coupling assemblies. The coupling assemblies and the rotatable straps may be adjusted to position cranial pins at desired locations upon a patient's head and to provide a traction force vector at any predetermned angle.
