Quality of splints

The substance from which splints are made must combine hardness with pliability and flexibility, such as reed, pomegranate wood, and the like. The thickest place in them should be the one in contact with the fracture on both sides; the thickest should be the first splint, which is adjacent to the side of the fracture or the most fractured area of ​​the bone, and let the sides be softer. The edges of the splints should be smooth and the bandage under them should not be rough, but smooth. If splints are applied on all four sides, it is more careful, and it doesn’t matter if their length turns out to be excessive - there is nothing wrong with that. There is no harm if the splints start near one joint and go to the other joint without covering the joint itself. The longest side of the splint is the side adjacent to the moving and bending part of the organ, and let it not aggravate, compress too much or put pressure. The headbands should not be much shorter than the splints, so that the splints do not constrain or press. If you see something like this, then shorten the splints until you achieve proportionality. Splints should not fall on exposed areas that are devoid of meat and consist of bones or nerves.
