Broken bones are splinted or casted to immobilize the affected area, which helps to stabilize the fracture and promote proper alignment during the healing process. This immobilization reduces pain, prevents further injury, and minimizes movement that could disrupt the healing bone. Additionally, it protects the fracture site from external forces and ensures that the surrounding tissues, such as muscles and ligaments, can recover effectively.
