Provided herein is a surgical jig and methods for making and using the same. In at least one embodiment, the jig contains a forearm strap and finger strap to secure a patient's forearm and hand, respectively, to the jig, and at least one finger attachment site configured to receive and secure a fractured finger to the jig. The jig is designed to position the hand and finger in an optimal position for fracture reduction by a clinician while utilizing minimal resources. In various embodiments, the present methods of using the jig include adjustment of the patient's hand by the clinician to ensure optimal placement of the fractured finger prior to commencing fracture reduction.

A cervical traction assembly for use with a patient support apparatus includes an adjustment carriage track member including a connecting bracket assembly that releasably connects to a mount support member of the patient support apparatus. The adjustment track member includes a track body including a pair of opposing sidewalls that are spaced-apart from each other to define an elongated channel therebetween. Each sidewall includes a guide track that extends along a length of the respective sidewall. A rope angle adjustment carriage is located within the channel. The rope angle adjustment carriage includes a first track engagement member that is received by one of the guide tracks of one of the sidewalls and a second track engagement member that is received by another of the guide tracks of another of the sidewalls. The first track engagement member has a locked configuration that inhibits movement of the rope angle adjustment carriage.

Halo vests and the construction methods thereof are provided. The halo vests are designed in unibody structures to minimize the number of components. A 3D scanner is utilized to scan a subject to obtain parameters for a modeling program, which help to construct an optimized halo vest for the subject by printing rather than assembling manually. The subject can easily put on the halo vest without miscellaneous steps.

Portable traction splints for applying traction to an injured patient's limb may be extendable from a collapsed configuration adapted for transportation and storage towards an extended configuration adapted for applying traction to the injured patient, using telescoping members. One or more straps may be provided for securing the traction splint to the patient. One or more of such straps may include a tourniquet portion and/or may be configured to be oriented in different directions relative to the telescoping members. The disclosed traction splints may include a traction mechanism including a traction cord to apply traction to the patient's limb. The traction cord may be secured and maintained at a desired tension via a catch and a cleat in the inner member. Additionally or alternatively, a longitudinal cord groove and an inner hollow of the inner member may define a cord path for the traction cord.
