You may mean compound fracture in which the bone crushes in on it do to dual pressure. An example would be falling really hard on your knee, the pressure then counterpressured by the femur results in the bones crushing in on itself. (Or put your fists together & push. If enough pressure is applicated it could result of the crushing of the knuckles.)
