Introduction |
A fracture is any break in the continuity of a bone. Fractures can
cause total disability or in some cases death. On the other hand,
they can most often be treated so there is complete recovery. A great
deal depends upon the first aid the individual receives before he is
moved. First aid includes immobilizing the fractured part in addition
to applying lifesaving measures. The basic splinting principle is
to immobilize the joints above and below any fracture.
