There's nothing to splint - it's a crush injury of the distal phalanx so field treatment is wrap it up and go to the doctor. It's a compound fracture, so irrigation, debridement, and antibiotics probably play a role. Definitive repair will take place after it settles down and they can be sure there's no infection.
