"Bone and joint injuries are common occurrences in daily life. Physically active people are more likely to suffer these types of injuries. The elderly and the infirm are also at high risk for all fall-related sprains, strains, and breaks.
To care for sprains and broken bones, first ensure that the scene is safe and wear personal protective equipment. Then, apply gauze to any open wounds. Apply an ice pack to the injured area for up to 20 minutes. Then, have the injured individual be evaluated by a health care provider and avoid the use of the injured part. Additionally, call 911/EMS if there’s an open wound over a joint, abnormal position or bent extremity, or obvious joint dislocation.
Please refer to the full CPR guide to learn more about caring for open or compound fracture, for using a splint to protect an injured extremity, and for amputations."
