For a Broken Thigh, Upper Leg

Categories: Accidents, Emergencies and Poisons

The splint should extend from under the
arm to the ankle, padded and bound to the body and to the leg by means of

long towels or pieces of sheeting applied six inches apart. If the patient

is in a wagon and no splint can be had, bags of dirt or sand applied

around the thigh will hold some. But there is always something at hand to

use as a splint and to bind the splint to the leg.
