SW “Ohia” | tj33,
I have never done this but seen other people do it. Only on non-compound fractures too.
Clean the area very well. Wrap the leg with a couple old heavy shirts. Then slice a piece of black corrugated pipe longwise. Make the entire piece long enough to extend on either side of the fracture a fair distance. Diameter needs to be big enough to fit tightly all the way around the leg. Then wrap with tape, tape, and more tape.
Keep her in a flat dry pen with good bedding.
My thoughts; if you had a broken leg, wouldn't you want a cast on it? It will probably heal eventually with no help, but it would more comfortable and faster with some support.
