The fixed part 3 is connected to the housing 1; the moving part 4 is connected to the driving part 5, which drives the moving part 4 to move along the traction direction, so that the moving part 4 and the fixed part 3 produce relative displacement; one end of the elastic part 6 is connected to the fixed part 3, and the other end of the elastic part 6 is connected to the moving part 4; wherein when the moving part 4 and the fixed part 3 produce relative displacement, the elastic part 6 deforms to buffer the traction force of the driving part 5 acting on the inner rod 2.

[0065] By setting the buffering device, when traction fixation is performed, the traction force from the patient's lower limbs in the operation acts on the buffering device. With the increase of the traction force, the fixed part 3 does not produce axial displacement due to the constraint of the housing 1, and the moving part 4 produces axial relative motion with the fixed part 3 due to the force from the driving part 5, so that the elastic part 6 deforms to buffer the traction force. By setting the buffering device in the orthopedic traction device 100, the effective buffering of the traction force applied to the patient can be achieved during the traction in the operation, so as to reduce the damage to the patient's lower limbs caused by the sudden application of the traction force.

[0066] The fixed part 3 and the moving part 4 can be both cylindrical and sleeved on the outside of the inner rod 2; wherein at least a part of the fixed part 3 is sleeved on the outside of the moving part 4.

[0070] Specifically, the second through hole 41 has a first aperture and a second aperture in sequence in the direction away from the fixing member 3, the first aperture is larger than the second aperture, and the variable cross-section of the second through hole 41 is in abutment with the elastic member 6. The variable cross-section forms the abutment part described above, the space between the first aperture of the second through hole 41 and the inner rod 2 is used to accommodate the elastic member 6, and the variable cross-section is used to fix the elastic member 6. Among them, the size of the first aperture and the outer diameter of the elastic member 6 are clearance fit with each other, and the clearance fit is taken, and the clearance value can be taken in the range of 0.2mm to 0.5mm. The size of the second aperture should be clearance fit with the inner rod 2, and the small clearance is taken, and the clearance value can be taken in the range of 0.05mm to 0.1mm.
