Abstract
A traction splint for attachment to a person's leg for example and having an elongate U-shape frame. The side arms of the frame are telescopic and an air pump is connected to the frame so as to be operable to cause simultaneous extension of the two arms. A foot retaining device is attached to the arms adjacent the base of the U and a thigh ring is releasably securable to the movable sections of the two arms so that extension or contraction of the arms causes variation in the distance between the thigh ring and the foot retaining device. The thigh ring is completely separable from the arms and retaining structure is operable to prevent that separation. Also, the thigh ring can be opened at one side to allow it to be moved laterally over a person's leg.
