An open fracture is considered an extrinsic injury because it results from external forces, such as trauma or impact, that break the bone and cause the skin to pierce or break. This type of fracture exposes the bone to the external environment, increasing the risk of infection. In contrast, intrinsic factors would involve internal causes like diseases or conditions affecting bone integrity.
