Resetting compound fractures
Hi
a quick question and I know that it is very dependent on the situation, but in the case of a compound fracture is it necessary to reset the bone.
I would rather wait for emergency personnel but like when I was hiking yesterday and the guy slipped off the side into a ravine, best to control the bleeding and not reset it. But if help isnt coming for quite a while say 6 hours to a day or more , should it be reset and splinted?
Thanks Guys
