How do you deal with a simple fracture?

Answer 1

It depends on the bone that was fractured. Treatment for simple closed non-displaced long bone fractures would be immobilisation. Simple fracture of the frontal bone of the skull touching the frontal sinuses would include preventive antibiotics. Simple fracture of a rib would be treated with pain medication. Simple fracture of a vertebra would require a corset. So there is no on single correct answer.

Answer 2

For a simple fracture, it's important to immobilize the injured area using a splint or sling, elevate the limb if possible, apply ice to reduce swelling, and seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment. Avoid putting any weight or pressure on the fracture site to prevent further damage.
