Splinting is an effective first aid tip that is adopted during a fracture. Apart from other first aid tips one can use splinting to help with the injured part of the body.
A splint is a long and firm object that can be used to protect and support the fractured area. Ready-made splints are available in the market. In emergencies, one can also use splints that are available in a household such as cardboard, pillow, aluminum, rolled up newspaper, etc.
A splint is thus a necessary method to prevent damage to the injured area until the patient can visit a doctor for further treatment.
While using a splint one must carefully notice the blood circulation on the injured area is not blocked. If so, there will be a color change and this can be noticed and taken care of.
Broad materials like cloth or belts can be used to secure the splint from any damage.

A buckle fracture is a fracture in which there is incomplete loss of integrity of the bony cortex, frequently caused by a compressive force. These are also called a Torus fracture. They are treated by splinting or casting for about 3-4 weeks. These tend to heal quickly.
