Popis:	The Thomas splint has been used since the late 1800s. During World War I, physicians began using it for the acute management of femoral fractures and attributed its use to reduced mortality associated with these injuries. However, articles differ as to the actual percentage of mortality reduction. Even though these discrepancies exist, the Thomas splint has been useful and is still used today, especially for patient transport while awaiting definitive management.
