A stabilization and traction device for non-operative treatment of distal radius and upper extremity fractures includes a base, an arm anchorage device connected to the base and a traction device connected to the base at a location spaced-apart from the arm anchorage device. The traction device includes a traction strap that engages a patient's wrist and/or fingers and that can be selectively tensioned. The device is used for reduction of distal radius or other fractures by securing a patient's upper arm and applying sufficient longitudinal traction to reduce the fracture. The device can be configured to apply palmer translation in combination with the longitudinal traction. The device is also configured to facilitate splinting/casting operations while the patient's arm is immobilized in the device. Use of the device is described for non-operative treatment of distal radius and upper extremity fractures.
