The splint should extend from above the knee to below the ankle.The general rule of splinting is:Immobilize the bone (above and below the fracture) and immobilize the joints (above and below the fracture).If the fracture is compounded (bone pierces through the skin):DO NOT push the bone back. Cover to prevent infection and make the splint fit the current shape of the legDO NOT manipulate the limb to fit the splint.
