How To Turn Over Child With Tibial Fracture To The Side?
My 10 year old son suffered a spiral fracture to the tibia (mid shaft). He has been on his back in bed with his leg elevated but he is getting very sore and wants to be able to turn off. Is there a home method of turning him over safely to relieve his discomfort?
