The immobilisation of a fracture is appropriate to prevent the patient from injuring himself further and to prevent the level of severity of the injury from increasing. Consequently, whenever you manifest a fracture in any part of your body, in the first instance, the most important thing is to immobilise the injury so that the broken bone retains a fixed and firm position. In addition, it is also possible to reduce pain, avoid change in the fracture structure and minimise complications from injury to neighbouring structures such as muscles, nerves and blood vessels.
