Detailed explanation-1: -An open fracture is an injury where the fractured bone and/or fracture hematoma are exposed to the external environment via a traumatic violation of the soft tissue and skin. The skin wound may lie at a site distant to the fracture and not directly over it.
Detailed explanation-2: -Open (compound) fracture. The skin may be pierced by the bone or by a blow that breaks the skin at the time of the fracture. The bone may or may not be visible in the wound.
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.
Detailed explanation-4: -Closed (simple) fracture – the broken bone has not pierced the skin. Open (compound) fracture – the broken bone juts out through the skin, or a wound leads to the fracture site. Infection and external bleeding are more likely.
Detailed explanation-5: -Complications that may occur after a compound fracture include: Skin damage: The compound fracture injures your skin when it pierces it. Your skin will heal while the bones heal.
