ABSTRACT:
A traction splint particularly useful for supporting a fractured leg in traction includes a rigid frame having a pair of longitudinally-extending frame members attachable at the inner end to the fractured leg and connected together at their opposite ends to receive the outer end of the leg. The outer end of the frame includes a pair of attachment jaws formed with a concave configuration for receiving the lower ends of the tibia and fibula and for limiting against the internal and external malleolus; the attachment jaws being carried by the supporting member extending transversely across, and slidable longitudinally of, the pair of frame members at the outer end of the frame.
