Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A compound fracture is a type of fracture where the bone comes through the skin, also known as an open fracture. This is in contrast to a closed fracture (A), where the bone is broken but does not come through the skin. Simple (B) and hip (D) fractures do not accurately describe the fact that the bone has come through the skin.
