RESUMO

Hinged casts and roller traction were used in two developing countries to treat fractured femora, most of which were due to road traffic accidents or civil violence. This method of treatment, developed by Neufeld, is particularly useful in the Third World because it uses local materials, adapted in a hospital workshop, and circumvents the difficulties and complications of standard traction and of operative treatment. The results are reported from 11 patients treated in Uganda in 1979 and from 110 treated in the Dominican Republic in 1981 and 1982. All but one fracture united without complication or significant shortening after a brief period in hospital. The method was easily taught to hospital staff and is strongly recommended.
