It also acts as an inexpensive alternative to surgery to correct the injury over time for certain injuries.
Different splints are used for different injuries. These mechanical forms of traction are mainly used in government hospitals. They are bulky and occupy a lot of space when in use and not in use. Placement, alignment and stability play a very important role in the healing process.

A splint setup that is modular and dismantlable for maximum efficiency in minimum space, that can be used for many upper and lower extremities for post-operative maintenance.
