A fracture occurs when a bone receives a crack or a break, sometimes resulting in bone fragments that penetrate the surface of the skin. These types of fractures are referred to as compound fractures or open fractures. These types of fractures can be particularly dangerous if the positioning of the fractured extremity is poorly stabilized and obstructing blood flow.
Symptoms of a fractured extremity may include tenderness, swelling, deformity, discoloration, bleeding, and loss of sensation below the fractured location.
