Leave the toes exposed.

Splinting, immobilization, or both are recommended for any suspected fracture (broken bone) or dislocation. A strong splint effectively reduces discomfort and helps to stop future damage. Splints can be purchased already manufactured or can be created using simple supplies.

One may, for instance, use a foam sleeping pad, boards, layers of cardboard, or branches. Bandanas, climbing webbing, shredded shirts, jeans, or other garments can be used as wrapping materials for the splint.

To secure the splint, these materials should fully encircle the affected extremity. However, they shouldn't be too tightly wrapped to restrict blood flow.
