Abstract: Orthopedic Traction Splint with Dual-Rail Adjustment, Force Limiting, and Imaging Compatibility This invention describes an orthopedic traction splint system designed to provide safe, precise, and anatomically adaptable immobilization and traction of long bone fractures. The system incorporates a synchronized dual-rail adjustment mechanism enabling both rapid telescopic extension and fine micro-adjustment while maintaining geometric symmetry. A quantifiable traction control arrangement includes a mechanical force indicator, an over-traction safety limiter, and a constant-tension module to ensure controlled and repeatable force application within clinically acceptable limits. Comfort-optimized pressure management is achieved through an adjustable proximal support interface with pressure-distributing and pressure-indicating features. Error-proof assembly is facilitated by guided, keyed, and visually confirmable securement interfaces that reduce deployment time and minimize operator error. An imaging-compatible structural configuration utilizing radiolucent materials and embedded reference markers permits diagnostic imaging without device removal. The system improves clinical safety, patient comfort, and workflow efficiency across emergency, transport, and operative care environments.
