In the case of a fracture, temporary immobilization is necessary with the help of splints, which must be long enough to stabilize both the joint above and the one below the fractured bone.

For a cervical fracture, immobilize the neck using a rolled towel, with a diameter of approximately 10 cm, placed loosely around the neck, making sure that the tie does not impede breathing. The victim must be placed on a rigid surface, such as a board or a door, which must be long and wide enough to prevent lateral movements or bending of the body.

Sterilization is necessary only in the case of an open fracture (accompanied by a wound). In this situation, the wound must be cleaned and properly dressed. For closed fractures (without a wound), these measures are not necessary.

The application of a tourniquet is indicated exclusively in critical situations, when severe hemorrhage endangers the victim's life and cannot be controlled by other methods. The tourniquet is applied above the wound, between the injury and the other part of the body, but without touching the wound, to effectively control the bleeding.
