Which of the following is not a contraindication for the use of a traction splint? a. severe swelling and redness at a midshaft femurb. pelvis, hip, or knee injuryc. injury to the lower third of the leg that would interfere with the ankle hitchd. avulsion or partial amputation where traction could separate the extremity

The rigth answer is: A. Severe swelling and redness at a midshaft femur

Explanation:  There are some contraindications for the use of a traction splint among them are: -Injuries near the knee and injuries of the hips and / or pelvis and amputation of some part of the limb, therefore option B and D are incorrect. The traction splint firmly grabs the ankle, if there is an injury that interferes with the hitch, it cannot be placed, so option C is incorrect. If there is a femur fracture, it is very common to find severe swelling and redness in the femur of the middle axis and there is no problem with placing the traction splint because the purpose of this is to stabilize the fracture.
