A bone fracture can occur anytime. You could be playing, driving, or even walking. Though they are not life-threatening, fractures can be extremely painful and require immediate medical attention to prevent permanent damage.
The first step of any first-aid is to stop the bleeding. If there is bleeding, use a clean cloth or gauze to apply pressure on the source of the bleeding. However, if the bone is visible, don’t press on it. Take any clothing off the injured area.
To identify the fracture, don’t make the mistake of moving the injured part. This only makes the situation worse and may cause further damage. Movement may also provoke further shock. It is also not a very reliable method as often people can move the injured limb without much pain.
