Carefully straighten the injured limb. Immobilize the fracture by placing a padded board under the injured limb. The board should be at least 4 inches wide and should reach from the buttock to the heel. Place extra padding under the knee and just above the heel, as shown in the illustration. Use strips of bandage to fasten the leg to the board in four places: (1) just below the knee; (2) just above the knee; (3) at the ankle; and (4) at the thigh. DO NOT COVER THE KNEE ITSELF. Swelling is likely to occur very rapidly, and any bandage or tie fastened over the knee would quickly become too tight. Treat the victim for shock and evacuate as soon as possible.

-Enderezar cuidadosamente la extremidad lesionada. Inmovilizar la fractura mediante la colocación de una tabilla acolchada debajo de la extremidad lesionada. La tabla debe ser de al menos 10 cm de ancho y debe llegar desde la nalga hasta el talón. Coloque más acolchado debajo de la rodilla y justo por encima del talón, como se muestra en la ilustración. Utilice tiras de vendaje para sujetar la pierna a la tabla en cuatro lugares: (1) justo debajo de la rodilla; (2) por encima de la rodilla; (3) en el tobillo; y (4) en el muslo. NO CUBRA LA RODILLA. Es probable que se hinche rápidamente y cualquier vendaje sujetado sobre la rodilla se convertirá rápidamente demasiado apretado. Trate a la víctima por el choque y evacúe lo más pronto posible.
