What joints should the tire with a fracture fix? How to apply tires with a fracture of the thigh, shoulder, forearm, lower legs?

Instructions for applying the tire during a fracture of the thigh, shoulder, forearm, fingers.

Of great importance in the speed of restoration at fractures is the timeliness and correctness of first aid. The sooner it is carried out, and correctly carried out, the more chances to recover much faster. In this article we will tell you which joints should fix the tire for fractures.  

General rules for applying tires during a fracture

The fact is that there is one general rule that states that the tire should fix two joints, higher and below the fracture. The tire may be nothing more than a board, a stick, or some kind of magazine folded into a tube.

Most often, when providing first aid, people have no special materials and tools. Accordingly, the tires are made from improvised things. They are quite easy to find in production, as well as on the street and in everyday life. Any hard, straight surface that corresponds to the length is suitable, and satisfies all the requirements for the tires.

Adviсe:

• The most interesting thing is that there are exceptions to the rules is the fracture of the shoulder, as well as the hips. In this case, the tire records not two joints at all, but the entire limb. That is, three joints.
• It is worth noting that there are general rules for applying tires. In no case should you tighten them strongly, it prevents normal blood circulation. The main task of the tire is to immobilize the joint and a broken place.
• But in no case should it interfere with the normal blood circulation of the limb. It is for this purpose that very often the fingers and arms with fractures are left open. This is necessary in order to monitor body temperature.
• If the limbs are very cold, blue, then the tire is not applied correctly, and the dressings are very tight, respectively, there is no normal blood circulation. Please note that if there is an open wound or a fracture open in the fracture area, it is necessary to use exclusively sterile dressings, bandages.
• If you are at home, then home items cut into pieces can serve as any dressings. An ideal option will be a sheet cut into strips. If the fracture is closed, then the use of sterile bandages in the area of \u200b\u200bdamage is not necessary.
• An ordinary fabric is suitable. It must be noted that the tissue should be quite elastic and not to prevent normal blood circulation.  

What joints should the tire record with a thigh fracture?

Instructions:

• In the case of the thigh, the knee, ankle and thigh are fixed. Thus, the length of the tire during the thigh fracture is quite large, begins from the axillary hollow and ends under the foot.
• When applying a tire, in the case of a thigh fracture, it is necessary to use not one, but three strips. The first of them is fixed and starts from the armpit, ends in the foot of the foot, bends in the form of the letter G.
• Thus, this prevents the stopa. That is, on the side of the tire should bend at an angle of 90 degrees. Regarding the rear surface, the tire begins in the area under the buttock, and also descends into the foot area, bends at an angle of 90 degrees.
• As for the third tire, it just begins in the inner surface of the thigh, under the groin, and also ends in the foot area. Thus, the leg is completely fixed.
• There is no opportunity to bend it in the knee, it is also impossible to move, somehow bend the leg in the thigh. A person is almost immobilized.
• With a thigh fracture, only seven segments of the fabric are needed. Pieces are passed under the lower back, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe axillary hollows, in the groin, above and under the knee, in the ankle. Thus, it is necessary that the leg is completely motionless, fixed.
• As for the thigh fracture, it is very often difficult to find a few rather long boards. That is why it is allowed to fix one limb to another. Thus, a strip of blanket is laid between the legs, which folds several times and a rectangle is formed.
• Thus, they are recorded in the ankle area, under the knee, above the knee, in the groin, in the lumbar region. This is necessary so that it is impossible to take the limb to the side and disturb the damaged thigh. As for the fractures of the ribs, the tires are not used here.  

Shine with a fracture of the shoulder: how to apply?

As for the fracture of the shoulder, everything is quite difficult here, since the tire records not two joints, but three, as with a thigh fracture.

Instructions:

• In this case, the tire can consist of two parts. It is necessary that something similar to the letter of the city is obtained. At the same time, the upper part fixes the shoulder area, to the elbow itself.
• The second part, which begins after the fold of the angle, is fixed just in the area in front of the brush. It is necessary, to take care of the position, the condition of the fingers. Most often, a dense roller of cotton or bandage is put in the area of \u200b\u200bthe bend of the palm, fingers bend, clamping it.
• It is in this position that the hand is fixed and the forearm. Only in this way can you achieve rapid recovery, and minimize the number of pain. Please note that such a design is fixed using a bandage or scarf that is worn on the neck.
• This can be done with an immobilizing bandage that can be purchased at a pharmacy.
• In the case of a fracture that is located in the region of the forearm or shoulder, in the absence of tires and some hard surfaces, the sore limb is fixed directly to the body.
• The limb is straightened along the seams, that is, along the body, and is fixed directly to the body, using fabric. This is the most optimal option, as it allows you to reduce the possibility of hand movement, and further trauma of tissues.  

Tire with a fracture of the forearm and fingers

Regarding fractures of the fingers, here the fixation is carried out in the region of two joints. That is, above and below the defeat.

Adviсe:

• If one of the phalanges of the fingers is broken, usually a small tire, or even a regular pencil, is tied to the finger and palm itself. Thus, so that the finger could not bend, it was impossible to move them.  
• With a fracture in the forearm, it is enough to fix only the bone itself. In this case, the tire is superimposed from the elbow to the brush. At the same time, the conditions are preserved that in the fingertips the roller is laid, which fixes them in a certain position.
• The hand is fixed using a conventional wandering bandage. It is worth noting that boards, mops, even a broom can be used as a tire. And with fractures of the fingers, pieces of ordinary pencils or pens are often used.
• At the same time, it is advisable to fix any fracture on both sides. That is, on the sides it is necessary to fix the sore spot with the tire. In no case should the fabric be directly in the fracture area. It is necessary that everything is fixed from above and below the damaged place.

First aid tips for fractures

After assistance is provided, it is necessary to raise a damaged limb above the body level. This will prevent the appearance of edema, and the swelling of the limbs. It is worth noting that in no case should you squeeze the fracture area or try to align the bones on your own. Remember, the main task of applying a tire is to immobilize the fracture place, prevent further destruction of the bones, and tissue damage.

Adviсe:

• If a person tries to an engine with a damaged limb, then bone fragments can damage soft tissues, leaving fragments and cut wounds. Thus, this will aggravate the situation and the rehabilitation period will last. Please note that before the ambulance brigade arrives, you can not shift a person from place to place. The main task is to fix the affected place and leave it alone. After the ambulance brigade arrived, the doctor will determine how to help a person.  
• In order for a person to recover quickly enough, it is necessary that the tire be applied correctly. In no case should she press the protruding bones and put pressure on them. Thus, between protruding bones and a hard bus, it is necessary to lay a piece of fabric, cotton wool or bandage.
• The pressure on the bone decreases. There are specialized tires using the medical staff. However, in most cases, close people of the victim, or work staff, provide pre -trial assistance. That is, the one who was at the place of the accident. That is why, most often, improvised means are used to immobilize the fracture.  
• If the misfortune happened in the cold season, you need to take care of maintaining heat in the area of \u200b\u200baffected places. That is, the fabrics of the upper and lower limb must be wrapped. Indeed, sometimes, after applying a tire or bandage, blood circulation can worsen slightly. But in a compartment with a low air temperature, the frostbite process can accelerate.

That is why these places are not exposed in any case and, before the ambulance arrives, are protected with a blanket or warm things. With fractures of the ribs, the tire is not superimposed. A tight dressing is carried out.
