For what purpose does the doctor put a splint on the broken limb?

Broken bone tends to grow together. The healing process starts very quickly but is slow. It can take weeks or even months for the bone to fully recover. Therefore, you need to immediately apply a splint, and then – plaster. In addition, the splint prevents the entry of bone fluid into the blood, which can cause dangerous consequences for the body. The splint also fixes the broken limb. This will not allow the broken bone to separate even more and not cause pain to the victim on the way to the emergency room.
