Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -A closed fracture is when the bone breaks but there is no puncture or open wound in the skin.
Detailed explanation-3: -Open fracture (also called compound fracture): The bone pokes through the skin and can be seen, or a deep wound exposes the bone through the skin.
Detailed explanation-4: -Trauma. A fall, motor vehicle accident, or tackle during a football game can all result in fractures. Osteoporosis. This disorder weakens bones and makes them more likely to break. Overuse. Repetitive motion can tire muscles and place more force on bone. This can result in stress fractures.
