I can only hope such a
device (Traction Splint) is applied to

A great article on Femur Fracture
Since the femur is such a strong bone with ample protection supplied by
large muscle it can only be injured by significant force or by being
weakened by age or disease. Femur fractures are seen most commonly
in two age groups. The first age group is individuals that are less then
25years old. The most common mechanism of injury for this age group is
on and off-road vehicular accidents.
The second age group is individuals older then 65 years old. While this
age group is not the only group to suffer from bone weakening cancer
and osteoporoses it is the group that has the greatest occurrence of this
problem.
Chronic diseases and age weakens the bones and this is reason that
this age group is at high risk of femur fracture. Click to read more
