Patient reported to primary care center soon after getting trauma to lower limb. He is unable to bear weight. There is NO external wound. You are suspecting fractured lower leg and referring patient to orthopedic surgeon. What first aid measure should be done in this case?
- Pain killer injection and refer the patient
- Apply support to injured limb and refer the patient
- Apply heat pad and refer the patient
- Treat fracture at primary care center no need of referral
Explanation
For suspected fractures without external wounds, the best immediate first aid is to immobilize the injured limb (apply support or splint) to prevent further injury and reduce pain, then promptly refer the patient to an orthopedic specialist for definitive management.
Painkillers alone or applying heat pads are not appropriate first aid measures in acute trauma cases.
Treating the fracture fully at primary care is not advised without specialist input.
