Brief Answer:
Pain can be due to soft tissue injury.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain after the splint has been applied can be due to the soft tissue injury or a slight movement of the fractured fragments. There can be a pain for a few days. The pain should subside on its own. Do not bear any weight on the leg. Let the soft tissue also heal.
Do continue taking the pain killer you have been prescribed.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
