Broken bones
Fractures come in a variety of forms and may occur any place in the body where there is a bone. Remember, you are not a trained medical professional qualified to handle these many different situations. Your job is to recognize the injury (or possible injury) and to limit further injury.

SIGNS & SYMPTOMS:
May have heard a pop or snap, or received a direct blow to the area.

A closed fracture will have pain, swelling, irregularity, or deformity over the injured area. An open fracture will have bone protruding.

FIRST AID:
Leave fractured bone in the position found.
Immobilize the joints above and below the suspected injury.
Cover an open fracture wound with a large clean dressing; control bleeding.
Apply ice to a closed fracture (not to an open fracture).
Transport the player to the hospital or call for an ambulance if you are unsure about moving the player.

DON’T:
Attempt to straighten injured limb or push back protruding bones.
Allow player to move the injured area.
Allow dirt into any injured area with protruding bones.
