Question

Which of the following does not help in the healing of broken bones?

• A. Sling
• B. Cast
• C. Crutches
• D. All of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D

All of these

Slings, casts and crutches are used to support and protect broken bones, dislocated joints and injured soft tissues such as tendons and ligaments. This immobilization of bones, ligaments or tendons restricts motion to allow the injured area to heal. It can help reduce pain, swelling and muscle spasms.
