Fracture of Lower Arm
There are two bones in the lower arm.
One or both may be fractured.
It is important to support the
fractured arm and get medical help.
Splint the arm. Use a firm base and narrow triangular bandages.
The firm base could be a board or even a thick magazine.
This sort of sling will
support the splinted arm.
Begin with the long side
of the bandage along the
side of the body. Have
the pointed end at the
injured elbow.
Lift the lower corner as
shown.
Finish off the sling with a
reef knot on the side
away from the fracture.
