SPRAINS / FRACTURES / DISLOCATIONS Without an x-ray you usually cannot distinguish between a fracture, dislocation, sprain or strain, so always treat as a fracture. DO NOT move the student. Control any bleeding first. Treat for shock. With any ankle injury, DO NOT take shoe off. Splint in position you find injury. Apply splint so it immobilizes the joint above and below the possible fracture. Apply cold pack and elevate injured appendage. Notify parents and school nurse. Call 911 or local emergency response team.
