Detailed explanation-1: -Because emergency rooms are better equipped to diagnose (through medical imaging technologies like x-rays and CT scans) and treat broken bones (with pain medication as well as setting and surgical procedures), going to an ER directly is the safer decision.
Detailed explanation-2: -Immobilization with a cast or splint heals most broken bones. However, you may need surgery to implant plates, rods or screws to maintain proper position of the bones during healing. This type of surgery is more likely in people who have: Multiple fractures.
Detailed explanation-3: -Keep your leg as still as possible until help arrives. Rest. Put an ice pack wrapped in a pillowcase or towel on your leg to ease swelling. If possible, keep your leg raised with pillows or cushions to reduce swelling. Often with a broken leg, surgery is necessary. 12-Nov-2022
