TYPES OF FRACTURES:
Complicated:
This can occur when either an open
or closed fracture causes further
injury e.g. broken bone that cuts a
blood vessel or punctures the lung.
Closed:
This is where the bone is broken but
the skin is still intact.
Open:
This is where the bone is broken and
the skin is also broken. The bone
may be sticking out.
