You can wrap over the fracture site. The goal is to stablize the whole limb. If it were an open fracture you would have to cover the exposed bone/laceration with a dressing first. As with any injury, it is important to protect the area while only applying enough pressure during the banadaging/dressing/splinting process to provide stabilization/bleeding control to the area injured. The patient's comfort level is the best barometer for determining if you are doing a good job.
