One of the steps is to secure the injured extremity to the body. I believe you just tie the two legs together, but I was wondering in how many places and where.

Dosent the side off the groin go in first by splitting?

[@yalenewhavenhealthcenterfo8754]

It is personal preference on which side goes in first. Just be sure to always measure the splint first on the uninjured side
