Immobilizing the injured leg will help to prevent causing more damage to the soft tissue around the break. Immobilization may also keep from causing injury to the femoral artery which could be fatal.

the cavity. The sponge absorbs the blood and helps to retain the clot formed. This helps in bone healing and regeneration of bone.
