To keep the injured part of the body still and secure to prevent further damage and pain to that specific area. there are also dynamic splints which serve a supportive and correctional purpose at the same time helping the injured person to perfom a task.

How did the pioneers splint up a broken leg?

Well, from my knowledge, they had a tool called a Leg Splint. It was a wooden thing that would attach to your leg. If you were in need of a leg splint, some would just chop off a tree branch and use that. Many infections and such things as the Leg Splint were what caused disease and other infections. I'm glad we have good medical services and ways to help our legs and NOT use Leg Splints.

Could you use four popsicle sticks to make a splint?

You can use 2 Popsicle sticks to make a finger splint. Place one stick on each side of the finger and tape around it or use a triangle bandage with a square knot above and below the broken part. If you are trying to splint another part of the body try not to use Popsicle sticks because they aren't long enough since you need to demobilize both joints above and below a break. I would suggest for arm or legs using wood planks or magazines to splint.
