Description
A femoral traction splint is a mechanical device that uses traction to align and provide stability to femoral
fractures. The use of this device has many benefits however there is still limited availability in low- and middleincome
countries. This article provides the reader with a step by step guide to improvise a femoral traction splint
built from recyclable materials readily available in most hospitals. The authors’ concept will give patients access
to a potentially life-saving device in a resource-limited setting.
