The pioneers would make a safe place for the victim and make sure there were no other injuries. Next they would splint the leg and make it lay flat. Also, they would hold the patient down, then pull the broken bone back into place to the best of their ability. When it felt about right, they would splint with two pieces of wood or a branch and hope for the best.

∙ 13y agoNot much unlike today, a broken leg would be 'reduced', straightened, splinted and bound or cast in plaster. If the person was rich, they would most likely be kept in bed a considerable time during healing. Poor people would be sent right back to work.

How do you treat a broken leg in the 1800s?
If you have broken your leg in the 1800's, take a piece of wood or something solid and put it under your leg. Take indian leather and wrap it around the leg and wood. Chill cold rocks in a river and set them over the leather. Leave rocks on leg for 20-30 minutes. Leave homemade ''cast" on for 8 weeks or until healed. Rest and do not work.
How long should you keep on a brace if you broke your leg in the 1800's?
The length of time you need to wear a leg brace all depends on what your doctor told you. Regardless of what your doctor says, I'm assuming they'd be pretty amazed that you're still existing after having broken your leg in the 1800s, seeing as it was over a century ago.
How do you treat a broken leg on the Oregon trail?
If you were to get a broken leg on the Oregon Trail you would have someone lie you down on a hard surface. Then they would take the leg and pull it as hard as they could trying to put it back in place. Then once they thought that it was it the right place they would put a board next to your leg and tie a string around and around so that you could not move that leg. After that you would hope for the best.
