Closed Fracture
An open fracture is where is bone penetrates the skin and a closed fracture is where the bone remains under the skin.An open fracture is a broken bone that penetrates the skin. This is an important distinction because when a broken bone penetrates the skin there is a need for immediate treatment, and an operation is often required to clean the area of the fracture. Furthermore, because of the risk of infection, there are more often problems associated with healing when a fracture is open to the skin.A closed fracture is a broken bone that does not penetrate the skin. This is an important distinction because when a broken bone penetrates the skin there is a need for more immediate treatment, and an operation is often required to clean the area of the fracture. Furthermore, because of the risk of infection, there are more often problems associated with healing when a fracture is open to 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.
