Is Thomas splint traction appropriate for neck of femur fracture?
A femur fracture is very painful due to the large muscles causing the bone ends to over ride each other. The sharp bone ends now dig into the muscle and nerves causing pain and bleeding. The traction splint is used to reduce the pain, prevent further injury of nerves, and to control bleeding by pulling traction and placing the bones in line. There is no need for this on a femoral neck, also known as a hip fracture, due to lack of large muscle groups in this part of the anatomy. Therefore, a simple padded board splint is all that is necessary. Simple rule to guide you is that if there is angulation and muscle binding, then use the traction splint.
