FRACTURE

Fracture or a break in the bone can result from any injury. There is pain, swelling and tenderness and there may be a deformity. The injured part should be prevented from moving and the child should be taken to the doctor or to the hospital. Splints and slings are used to immobilize injured parts so that broken ends of bones could not move A splint can be ready-made or improvised from any stiff material (magazine, stick, ruler and so on). The splint should be wider than the part being splinted, and long enough to prevent movements of the joints near the fracture. Pad the limb with a clean cloth before applying a splint. Bind the splint in place above and below the fracture.

A sling can be made from a scarf or towel or a piece of sheet.

Do not give the casualty anything to eat or drink since the child may need an anesthetic to set the fracture. Usually, an X-ray is necessary to confirm whether there is a fracture or not

Compound fracture. When the broken bone has pierced the skin the fracture is called compound. This is more serious because of possible infection. Place sterile gauze over wound and take the child to the hospital immediately. If sterile gauze is not available, use a clean, washed and ironed piece of cloth. If necessary, control bleeding with pressure.
