RestStop using injured part.Use splint for injuries of the arm, elbow, wrist, or hand

Keep damp or dry cloth between skin and ice pack
Do not apply ice for longer than 15 to 20 minutes at a time

Use elasticized bandage, compression sleeve, or clothWrap injured part firmly
▪Do not impair blood supply▪Too tight compression may cause more swelling
Wrap over ice Loosen the bandage if it gets too tight

DislocationDisplacement of the joint/
boneFrequently accompanied by a tearing or stretching of ligaments, muscles or other soft tissue

Signs and symptoms
Deformity of joint or limb Limited or abnormal
movement Swelling and
discoloration Pain and tenderness Shortening or
lengthening of affected limb
![Page 29: Strain sprain fracture](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081419/555bcd86d8b42adf478b4aff/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
A break or a crack in a bone is called a
fracture.
Many types of fractures are difficult to determine.
If a fracture is suspected, it’s wise to get it checked out
![Page 30: Strain sprain fracture](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081419/555bcd86d8b42adf478b4aff/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
All fractures are one of two types
1) Closed – skin over fracture is not broken
2) Open/Compound – where the skin over the fracture is broken. The bone may be visible.

FIRST AID CARE Basically the same as first aid for fractures
IMMOBILIZE the affected part in the position in which it is found by using splints and/or slings
Avoid any movement of part because movement can lead to additional injury to nerves, blood vessels and other tissues in the area
Obtain medical help immediately
![Page 34: Strain sprain fracture](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081419/555bcd86d8b42adf478b4aff/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Stop the activity.
Survey the injured area.
First Aid if qualified.
Get help if not.
Determine if additional medical attention is necessary.

SplintsDevices that can be used to
immobilize injured parts when fractures, dislocations and other similar injuries are present or suspected
Many commercial splints are available Inflatable or air splints Padded boards Traction splints (used for fractured femur)
