A closed fracture is when the skin is still intact. A compound fracture is when the broken bone is sticking through the skin.
An open fracture is where is bone penetrates the skin and a closed fracture is where the bone remains under the skin.An open fracture is a broken bone that penetrates the skin. This is an important distinction because when a broken bone penetrates the skin there is a need for immediate treatment, and an operation is often required to clean the area of the fracture. Furthermore, because of the risk of infection, there are more often problems associated with healing when a fracture is open to the skin.A closed fracture is a broken bone that does not penetrate the skin.
