Fractures and Dislocations — Splinting the Lower Leg

 

  1. Locate two long boards. One should reach from the victim's hip to the heel, and the second from the groin to the heel.

     

  2. Pad the boards with blankets or towels. Then place the boards with the padded side against the injured leg.

     

  3. Tie the boards in place at the groin, thigh, knee and ankle.
