A compound fracture, the worst kind.
When a fracture breaks the skin, it is a compound fracture or open fracture. Because the skin is broken, there is a possibility of infection.
An open fracture is when the bone breaks through the skin (however some people also call this a compound fracture) so if you say either it is correct.
The three main types of fracture are: Closed fracture: the bone breaks but does not break through the skin. Open fracture: the bone breaks and protrudes through the skin. Hairline fracture: a small crack in the bone that may be difficult to detect initially.
A comminuted fracture is when the femur shatters into at least three pieces. and a compound fracture is when the bone breaks and comes out of the skin.
A fracture that breaks through the skin and causes bleeding is known as an open fracture, or compound fracture. In this type of injury, the broken bone pierces the skin, creating a risk for infection and significant blood loss. Immediate medical attention is typically required to manage both the fracture and the potential for complications.
"compound"
compiound fracture
a fracture in which skin is intact at site of fracture is a closed fracture or simple fracture whereas compound fracture or an open fracture is a fracture in which the skin is perforated and there is an open wound down to the site of the fracture.
A bone fracture that does not break the skin is called a closed fracture. In this type of fracture, the bone is broken but the skin remains intact, which helps to reduce the risk of infection. Treatment usually involves immobilizing the bone with a cast or brace to allow it to heal properly.
depends on the point of impact and the speeed but no it does not always result in a compound fracture
