The most effective emergency care for a fractured femur is the use of a mechanical type traction splint such as developed by Hare and described herein. After general emergency care guidelines using a well-designed properly applied device will lead to significant decrease in pain, marked decrease in morbidity and mortality, and general improvement in the level of the care of the injured athlete.J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 1979;1(1):53-58.
