What does a compound fracture need after first aid is administered?
Halleycourson
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.

Does a medial tibial fracture normally need surgery to repair?
Not necessarily, it very much depends on different factors such as: exact type of fracture, whether there is any displacement of the fracture, the age and functional expectations of the patient etc. If you are talking about a displaced medial tibial plateaux fracture (Shatzker grade 4) in a young active person, then YES it would need to be fixed. An undisplaced fracture in an elderly patient with limited mobility probably would not need fixed surgically but treated in a cast brace.
