If you have completed splinting an aimans arm fracture what should be aware of before applying a sling and swath?

Do Not Straighten the Limb

Before applying a sling and swath after immobilizing an arm in an ulnar/radial splint, be aware that the limb should not be straightened. Splint the limb in the position you found it unless straightening is required to correct an obvious deformity or to apply the splint.
