Splints and Casts

The idea
A fracture is a broken bone, and treatment often includes a cast or a splint.
In practice
Splints and braces also support injured or weak joints; the provider orders the device, and the medical assistant helps apply it only as trained.
Where people slip
Report any new or increasing pain or other concern about a limb in a support device.
