When bones break through the skin, they are classified as open fractures or compound fractures. This type of injury poses a higher risk for infection, as the broken bone is exposed to the external environment. Treatment typically involves realigning the bone and may require surgery to ensure proper healing and minimize complications. Immediate medical attention is essential to address both the fracture and any potential wound care.
