Is there any difference in treating quality when using splints vs casts? do fractions heal quicker/"better"?

have a nice one

[Nagidal]

I don't know the answer, but the wiki article says there is a slight difference:

Casts are [...] used to keep broken bones in their proper place until healed.

Splints immobilize limbs that have sustained bone fractures. They allow the broken limb to be utilized until it is fully healed. Dwarves will be able to leave the hospital and resume their normal duties once securely splinted up since by this stage their wounds have already been cleaned, sutured and dressed.

I generally prefer casts due thematics (altho splints are easier to make), and I can confirm that dwarves can leave hospital with them after treatment too.

[PatrikLundell]

In principle I'd prefer casts, but I rarely get hold of the raw materials for them.

Huh, this might need looking into. I've had people with 3+ splints get up and get back to work no problem.
