A fracture communicates with the outside through a wound. What is it called?

Correct answer

An open fracture.

An open fracture. The wound communicates with the fracture and creates an infection risk; the bone does not need to protrude. A closed fracture has no such communication. Classification does not replace medical assessment: seek help for a suspected serious injury and avoid manipulation.
