A compound fracture (also known as an open fracture) is one which the bone protrudes the skin. The danger here is infection so you need to cover the wound to prevent infection, immobilise the area and call for help. There is not much else you can do in a first aid capacity until an ambulance arrives. When they do arrive they may decide to straighten the limb to help circulation and prevent bones fusing in the wrong position and they will be taken to hospital for an xray and further treatment.
