Support for broken bones typically involves the use of a SPLINT, which is a device used to immobilize a broken bone and hold it in place while it heals. Splints are usually made of metal, plastic, or fiberglass and are designed to be lightweight and comfortable. They are often used in combination with other treatments such as casts and braces to provide additional support and stability. Splints can also be used to help reduce pain and swelling associated with a broken bone.
