The Bradford brace, if properly adjusted, holds the limb inabdnction and indirectly splints the joint. It is therefore themost efficient of the short traction The long traction brace adds the element of splinting in which Fig. Taylors median abduction brace used as a bed splint to overcome adduction bycounterpressure upon the sound side. the short braces are deficient and it is therefore far more satis-factory in the treatment of the acute or destructive types of cases. * Shaffer and Lovett, New York Medical Journal.
