Some good ideas, dont forget to splint the joints above and below the fracture, check for circulation before and after splinting. If you dont have circulation before splinting the patient may already have vascular impingement and now you have a truly emergent situation. If you lose circulation after splinting, unwrap and start over again, its to tight

If you do have circulatory compromise, sometimes a little gentle traction (manipulating the injured limb toward it's anatomically correct position) can prove helpful and may reduce pain. However, this should be discontinued in the presence of significant pain or resistance or in light of gross deformity.
-nice slide show btw
