Detailed explanation-1: -Open or compound fractures refer to broken bones that break through your skin. These are considered to be emergencies and typically require surgical treatment. Comminuted fractures occur when your bone breaks into several pieces.
Detailed explanation-2: -A break of any size is called a fracture. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open fracture (compound fracture). A stress fracture is a break in the bone that develops because of repeated or prolonged forces against the bone. The repeated stress weakens the bone until it finally breaks.
Detailed explanation-3: -An open fracture, also called a compound fracture, is a fracture in which there is an open wound or break in the skin near the site of the broken bone. Most often, this wound is caused by a fragment of bone breaking through the skin at the moment of the injury.
