A compound fracture is also known as an open fracture. It occurs when the broken bone pierces through the skin, exposing the bone and increasing the risk of infection. Other terms that may be used include "comminuted fracture" when the bone is shattered into multiple pieces, but this specifically refers to the type of fracture rather than the exposure of the skin.
