8 Muscle, Bone and Joint Injuries

Finger and Toe Splints Injury to a finger or two, although painful, poses no immediate life threat. Immobilize injured fingers and toes by padding along the injury and ‘buddy’ splinting to the adjacent digit. For injury to multiple digits, immobilize the entire extremity as per a hand or foot injury. Remember to check perfusion in the injured digit before and after splinting.
