Use pillows, trochanter rolls, or light splinting to keep the leg in neutral alignment. Avoid aggressive movement. Perform a neurovascular check (pulses, sensation, movement, color, temperature) every 1-2 hours to detect early signs of compartment syndrome or vascular compromise.
Never attempt to forcefully realign or rotate the leg. Immobilization is a temporary stabilization measure until surgical repair. Pain medication and ice are important supportive measures but do not replace the safety provided by fracture immobilization.
