Is the length of fracture fixation splint appropriate?

The specific length depends on the location of the fracture.

The length of splint should be about 5cm longer than elbow joint when forearm fracture is fixed. In this case, the splint is needed to fix the forearm, which can effectively limit the movement of the forearm and avoid the displacement of the fracture site, and at the same time, it can also play a good braking role and avoid the secondary injury of the fracture site caused by the movement.

The length of the lateral splint for fixing thigh fracture is from armpit to heel, which is placed on the inner side and the outer side of the injured leg respectively. Generally, the recommended length range is 3-5cm of the elbow joint.
