Detailed explanation-1: -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. Greenstick fracture – a small, slender crack in the bone.

Detailed explanation-2: -A closed fracture is when the bone breaks but there is no puncture or open wound in the skin. An open fracture is one in which the bone breaks through the skin; it may then recede back into the wound and not be visible through the skin.

Detailed explanation-3: -When a fracture happens, it’s classified as either open or closed: 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. Closed fracture (also called simple fracture). The bone is broken, but the skin is intact.

Detailed explanation-4: -Definition and Overview. A fracture refers to a broken bone. It can be either closed (does not penetrate the skin) or open (pierces through the skin and causes an open wound). It is further classified as either complete (bone breaks all the way through) or incomplete (bone cracks but is not totally broken).

Detailed explanation-5: -Simple or closed fracture – This is a fracture in which the bone fragments do not penetrate the skin.
