What is a type of fracture in which the bone has injured another organ such as a broken rib piercing a lung?
This type of fracture is known as a traumatic or penetrating fracture. It occurs when the broken bone tears or punctures surrounding tissue or organs, leading to potential complications and additional injury beyond the fracture itself. Prompt medical attention is essential to address both the fracture and any associated organ damage.

What is a multi-fragmentary fracture?
A multi-fragmentary fracture, also known as a comminuted fracture, occurs when a bone breaks into three or more pieces. This type of fracture often results from high-energy trauma, such as a car accident or a fall from a significant height. Due to the complexity of the break, treatment may involve surgical intervention to realign and stabilize the bone fragments, often using plates, screws, or rods. Recovery can be more complicated compared to simpler fractures due to the increased damage and potential for complications.
