| Abstract: |
A splint formed of three tapered segments joined end-to-end. Each segment has a flat-bottomed base and a concave limb-receiving portion. The distal and medial segments have a row of spaced apertures capable of selectively receiving an upright foot or hand piece for adjustable longitudinal positioning. The proximal ends of each segment are apertured to receive the free ends of a split ring which serves to bear against the axillary or perineal area of the patient during traction. The segments may be used singly or in combination.
