ABSTRACT:
To enable a traction splint to be applied to a patient's limb without substantial disturbance of the limb, the splint comprises a thrust member in the form of a collar-like strap sidewardly applicable to the injured limb where it joins the trunk of the body, a U-shaped caliper, to accept the injured limb, having its free ends locatable in relation to stubs projecting from the thrust member, and having a crotch end to which a tether secured to the distal end of the injured limb is selectively attachable so to vary the tensional load imposed on the limb.
