Measure
Audio Distraction
Those included in this study and randomized into the treatment arm will be given an mp3 device and headphones to listen to genre of music of their choosing in addition to be treated to the routine care with the skeletal traction pin. Audio distraction: Music on an mp3 player will be provided to the patient for them to listen to while having the traction pin placed.
Control
Those randomized into this arm will receive the current routine care which is treatment with a skeletal traction pin and no audio distraction.
