A splint for a fractured lower leg should extend from above the knee to below the ankle.
The general rule of splinting is:
Immobilise the bone, above and below the fracture,
and immobilise the joints, above and below the fracture. If the fracture is compounded, (bone pierces through the skin),
DO NOT push the bone back
Cover to prevent infection and make the splint the current shape of the leg
DO NOT manipulate the limb to suit the splint.
