Open....
It's called an OPEN FRACTURE.
A compound or open fracture, where the bone is visible sticking out of the skin
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.
A compound fracture is when a bone protrudes through the skin.
Open fracture - a broken bone protudes through the skin or an external wound leads to a broken bone
its simply called an open fracture when the bone has broke the skin and is sticking out.
When a bone fracture protrudes through the skin it is classified as an open fracture. With an open fracture there is a risk of deep bone infection.
When a bone is fractured in such a manner that the bone fragments, it is typically called a comminuted bone fracture.
A fracture in which the bone protrudes through the skin is known as an open fracture or compound fracture. This type of fracture poses a higher risk of infection due to the exposure of bone and tissue to the external environment. Immediate medical attention is necessary to properly treat the injury and prevent complications.
A compound fraccture
A fracture that shatters the bone is called a comminuted fracture. A direct impact can shatter bone into several fragments or pieces. This type of fracture is likely to occur in a road traffic accident.
Complicated
A fracture in which a broken bone pokes through the skin is called an open or compound fracture. This type of fracture poses a higher risk of infection due to the bone breaking the skin barrier, and immediate medical attention is needed to prevent complications. Treatment typically involves cleaning the wound, realigning the bone, and stabilizing it with surgery or casting.
