They thought that it was associated with iatrogenic or thick preretinal membrane's tangential
tractional force over the fovea and absorption of sub-ILM deposits.
Although pretreatment with anti-VEGF agents may reduce bleeding tendency during the operation, it may also aggravate the
tractional force of the fibrovascular tissue, and thus it should be judiciously used in eyes with fibrous components.

Suction is left on until delivery of the infant and traction started only after full suction has been reached.[29] This allows for the development of a caput succedaneum (chignon) to which the
tractional force is applied.

Retinal surgery releases the
tractional forces on the retinal surface.
In addition, the presence of vitreoretinal interface pathologies, such as epimacular membranes, can apply
tractional forces to the macula and aggravate DME.
(32) First,
tractional forces during PVD results in breaks in the retina's inner limiting membrane, allowing migration of glial cells (non-neuronal retinal cells that provide neuronal support) to the inner retinal surface where they proliferate.

Tractional forces applied to the aortic root as the tumour moves towards the left ventricle during diastole have been implicated in the aortic incompetence.

tractional forces influence indirect cardiac reprogramming"; Yen P.
The
tractional forces related to respiration are highest in the areas where disease appears first on chest imaging and in pathologic examination, corresponding to regions prone to physiologic alveolar collapse at rest.
