When providing first aid for the broken bone pictured, what is an important consideration?

For a suspected broken bone, keep the injured area still by splinting the bone and the joints or areas above and below the break. Do not push a protruding bone back into the skin or try to realign the break, since that can worsen the injury. A tourniquet is not a routine step before immobilizing a fracture.
