Effortless tension for Thomas splints

Abstract

ensuring allowance for slight overlap. The cut Strattice™ is then sutured superiorly to the edge of the pectoralis major and inferolaterally to the chest wall with 2/0 polydioxanone (Fig 4). DISCUSSIONOptimal aesthetic outcomes can be achieved in immediate implantbased reconstruction with the use of ADM. Our technique of cutting the Strattice™ precisely according to the ink template is reliable, quick, safe and easily reproducible.

An Alternative Method of Tensioning Traction Within Thomas Splint

“…The modernisation of the technique using a cord pulley system was described in 2014 [ 10 ]; however, it was limited to a single pulley putting additional strain on the cord.…”
