Splinting
Purpose: To immobilize the fragments of a broken bone/s.
Fixing a fragments of a broken bone will prevent the

jagged edges of the bone from tearing blood vessels and nerves.

Splinting
Will reduce and sometimes actually prevent shock

(excessive loss of blood).


Will greatly reduce the pain induced by the fracture. All fractures of long bones should be splinted before

movement or transportation of any kind is attempted.

Splinting
In applying a splint, the joint above the fracture and

the joint below the fracture should be immobilized.


The splint applied should not interfere with the

circulation of the splinted body part.


The splint should be padded to prevent injury to the

limb or discomfort to the patient.

Splinting
Splints may be improvised from boards or sticks,

rolled magazines, newspapers, etc.
