title: The Ntcheu derotation splint for lower limb traction.
abstract: The Ntcheu derotation splint is recommended as a tool to improve the care of patients in lower limb traction. It avoids the various problems associated with the traditional plaster boot that is routinely used (stiffness, pressure sores, cost and time). It is easy to make, is relatively low cost and uses widely available materials.
