In what ways do pioneers cure Broken Legs?
There is no evidence that pioneers used these methods:
1. Splinting:
- Immobilizing the broken bone with sticks, boards, or other rigid materials to prevent further movement and promote healing.
2. Traditional Medicine:
- Applying herbal remedies, poultices, or liniments derived from native plants with perceived healing properties.
3. Bone Setting:
- Some skilled individuals, often called "bone setters" or "healers," attempted to realign the broken bone through manipulation and sometimes traction.
4. Amputation:
- In severe cases, where the injury's damage is perceived as untreatable or highly prone to severe infection, amputation could be necessary as a life-saving measure.
Remember that medical practices in pioneer times were mostly based on traditional knowledge, intuition, and limited resources rather than scientifically established protocols.
