If you were to get a broken leg on the Oregon Trail you would have someone lie you down on a hard surface. Then they would take the leg and pull it as hard as they could trying to put it back in place. Then once they thought that it was it the right place they would put a board next to your leg and tie a string around and around so that you could not move that leg. After that you would hope for the best.

ProfessorWell, honey, on the Oregon Trail, you better hope you have a strong stomach and a steady hand because you're gonna have to set that bone yourself. Find a sturdy stick, some cloth to make a splint, and pray you don't get an infection. And if all else fails, just hope you have a good wagon to ride in because that leg ain't gonna heal overnight.

How do you treat a broken leg in the 1800s?
If you have broken your leg in the 1800's, take a piece of wood or something solid and put it under your leg. Take indian leather and wrap it around the leg and wood. Chill cold rocks in a river and set them over the leather. Leave rocks on leg for 20-30 minutes. Leave homemade ''cast" on for 8 weeks or until healed. Rest and do not work.
What did you do with a broken leg in the 1800's?
The pioneers would make a safe place for the victim and make sure there were no other injuries. Next they would splint the leg and make it lay flat. Also, they would hold the patient down, then pull the broken bone back into place to the best of their ability. When it felt about right, they would splint with two pieces of wood or a branch and hope for the best.

Why did hippo loose his foot in How to Train Your Dragon?
It's hiccup and he lost his leg from the fire he fell into before Toothless was able to save him and its said that the leg he lost completes sort of a metaphor that both Toothless and Hiccup are "broken" and rely on eachother
How long should you keep on a brace if you broke your leg in the 1800's?
The length of time you need to wear a leg brace all depends on what your doctor told you. Regardless of what your doctor says, I'm assuming they'd be pretty amazed that you're still existing after having broken your leg in the 1800s, seeing as it was over a century ago.
