Immobilize the bones from at the above and below joints of the injury.

Here are 6 signs of a broken bone.

  • Swelling
  • Pain
  • Difficulty in moving the injured part.
  • A bone fragment is protruding through the skin.
  • Misalignment or deformity of the injured part.
  • Deep, sharp pain when the victim attempts to move the part.

Do not move them, try to keep the injured part of the body as still as possible to avoid further damage. Keep the patient calm, and you as the helper, STAY CALM YOURSELF.
