A simple fracture, more accurately called a closed fracture, is a fracture that does not involve a break of the skin. A compound fracture, called an open fracture, is a fracture in which bone fragments cause a break in the skin. These fractures require antibiotics and, in most cases, surgical washout and repair to prevent infection.
