When appliedto the fractured limb, the length of splint between the angles will,when closely bandaged, make sufficient traction to elongate the limband remove deformity from shortening. Transverse pieces of stout wirestrengthen the splint. In its application these must not be allowed torest immediately upon the ankle, knee, or groin, but should be so knock-ed aside as to avoid painful pressure upon these points. D is a cord bywhich the limb and splint are suspended ; the two hooks by which thecord is connected to the splint can be moved upon the horizontal wiresfor proper adjustment.
