First aid for hip injury

When a hip is fractured, all the signs of a bone fracture are observed. In this case, it is necessary to ensure the immobility of three joints: hip, knee and tibia. For these purposes, available means are used: rails, ski poles, strips of plywood. Most
the long section is installed on the outside with emphasis from the armpit to the foot, the inner section - from the groin to the foot. The splints are secured with bandages in five places. Poorly secured femoral fractures during transport can cause damage to the femoral artery with subsequent bleeding and shock.
