Bones and muscles injuries are 4 types:
(1) - Fractions: It is of two types:
* Closed fractures: fractures are not accompanied by an open wound on the skin.
* Open fractures: fractures are accompanied by open wounds in the skin, and the emergence of both sides of the broken bone of the skin, and these fractures are potentially serious, because of the possibility of bleeding, infections and pollution.
The signs and symptoms of fractures.
- Pain and swelling at the site of injury.
- Inability to move the injured part.
- Change in skin color and deformity in the injured part.

and the annex.

The purpose of splints:
1 - to reduce pain.
2 -. Prevent further injuries and complications.
3 - prevent conversion to closed fractures, open fractures.
4 - to prevent the movement of the broken part, during transportation, to prevent more
injuries in the arteries or muscles.
Important Notes:
