Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -If more pressure is put on a bone than it can stand, it will split or break. A break of any size is called a fracture. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open fracture (compound fracture).
Detailed explanation-3: -Closed fracture or a simple fracture means the bone is broken but the skin stays intact. Open fracture or a compound fracture means the bone is broken and projects through the skin.
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: -Displaced Fracture: bone breaks into two or more pieces and moves out of alignment. Non-Displaced Fracture: the bone breaks but does not move out of alignment. Closed Fracture: the skin is not broken.
