MODEL RELEASED. Child with broken legs. Young patient being given bread to eat while lying in a hospital bed with fractured legs. The legs are being raised using traction equipment. This equipment consists of weights, ropes and pulleys, which exert forces on the fracture to ensure that it is kept correctly positioned while healing. Natural tension in tissue surrounding the break makes correct alignment difficult without the use of external force. Photographed at St. Mary's Hospital in Lacor, Gulu, Uganda.
