Some questions about the splint
1. Should you sleep with a splint on?
Do not remove the splint without a doctor's instruction. During the night especially after we go to sleep, we may accidentally touch the wound. If you wear a splint, it will help us to immobilize the affected area even when you are sleeping, thus preventing secondary injury.
2. How long should a splint stay on?
Generally we need to wear a splint for a few days to a week. The splint can effectively relieve the swelling of the affected area. However, if your condition does not improve after a few days, please seek medical attention urgently.
3. Can a splint heal a fracture?
It is well known that after a fracture we need to put a heavy cast on, the purpose of which is to limit the movement of the injured area. The splint can fix the dislocated joint and the fractured part, limiting its movement and allowing the injured part to get sufficient rest, thus facilitating the healing of the affected area.
