You really need to get it to a better vet. Just because this one doesn't work with crocodilians doesn't mean he couldn't at least take a look and fix it up, a broken bone is a broken bone, if it's not relating to the organ systems or anything even a cat and dog vet should be able to handle that (until it comes to drug dosage). If the vet refused to even look then he's not worth the money you would spend anyways. find a qualified vet and get it looked at. If it's a simple clean break or even just a bad gash the croc will likely heal well on it's own with thorough cleaning and the make shift splint, but if it's not it could get a an infection in the blood or bone and that is MUCH harder to combat and pretty much impossible without vet care, to often I hear of animals dying from blood or bone infection from a seemingly minor injury just because they didn't get it to a vet. even a simple round of anti-biotics might be all you need to prevent such things.
In addition... if the splint is not placed right it can do more damage than good. to loose and it's useless just another breeding ground for bacteria, to tight and you compromise the circulation that should be helping to heal the wound.
For now, get the wound clean as possible and keep it clean, if you can keep the caiman quarantined in a sterile environment with no particulate substrates, clean water etc. that would be best until you can find a competent vet.
