Articulating tactical traction splint use on pulseless forearm fracture.

An articulating tactical traction splint (REEL™ Tactical Traction Splint), commonly issued to U.S. military personnel, was used to maintain traction in a pulseless forearm fracture during a confined space rescue, with good peripheral perfusion maintained through transport. This enabled a single rescuer to focus attention and provide care for other critical aspects of a multisystem trauma patient.
