What happens if one with a broken hand or arm removes the splint and showers What happens if the broken arm or hands bones get wet?
As long as the skin isn't broken, you won't harm the arm by getting it wet. (If the skin is broken, there might be concern about infection.) The reason doctors usually caution you against showering when you have a broken bone is because the cast (or splint) itself should not get wet -- fiberglass/plaster will lose integrity and fall apart, and a splint will breed bacteria without being dried properly (so removing your splint to shower is probably a better idea than showering with a splint on). That said, if the bones shift or move while you're showering, you're going to have a lot of pain. So you're still going to want to keep your arm immobile, even if removing the splint means you don't have to keep it dry.

The splint test is to test for the presence of oxygen. You light a small piece of wood (the splint), then blow it out. The end of the wood will still glow. If you put the glowing splint into a test tube with oxygen, it will relight. It you put the glowing splint into a test tube with carbon dioxide, it will stop glowing. A better test for carbon dioxide is to bubble it through a solution of limewater.

How do you splint an oblique fracture?
To splint an oblique fracture, first stabilize the injured area by ensuring the patient remains still and calm. Use a rigid splint that extends beyond the joints above and below the fracture site to immobilize the bone effectively. Pad the splint for comfort and secure it in place with bandages or adhesive tape, avoiding excessive tightness that could impede circulation. Finally, monitor the patient for any signs of circulation issues or increased pain.
