I assume you mean splinting a fracture. Splinting holds the bones in proper position during transportation to prevent pain and further injury that the broken bone ends or pieces can cause to nerves, muscles, blood vessels. More permanent immobilization like casting or surgical fixation is then used until healing takes place.
