- 1). Place pillows on both sides of the broken limb. For a leg break, you might need several pillows to go the length of the leg.
- 2). Place the yardsticks or rulers next to the broken limb on the outside of the pillows.
- 3). Wrap the bandage around the limb. Only wrap it enough to hold the splint (about two or three times around). Move the broken limb as little as possible.
- 4). Put two handfuls of ice in a bag. Place the ice bag in a towel and cover the ice bag.
- 5). Put the ice pack onto the broken limb.
