Question

Why do we use a sling in case of a fracture before a doctor is summoned?

Answer 1

First aid for a fracture:

1. A fracture is an injury that includes a crack or a break in the bone.
2. The first aid care in a fracture includes tying a cloth sling on the area of the fracture.
3. The fractured area should not be moved that is why it is supported by a cloth sling across the neck, to limit movement.
