    ABOUT THE THOMAS LEG SPLINT:
    CREATED BY DR. HUGH OWEN THOMAS EARLY IN THE 20TH CENTURY, THE THOMAS HALF-RING TRACTION SPLINT WAS DESIGNED TO IMMOBILIZE AND TREAT FEMORAL FRACTURES. EARLY IN ITS USE, IT PREVENTED MANY FATALITIES, PARTICULARLY DURING WORLD WAR I.
    LATER, IN THE 1970s, ITS USE WAS ADAPTED TO PREVENT ADDITIONAL INJURIES WHILE TRANSPORTING A PATIENT, A VARIATION OF WHICH IS STILL IN USE TODAY.
