Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Closed or simple fractures are completely internal and do not break through the skin. Open or compound fractures involve bone breaking through the skin, making them more susceptible to infection. Compression fractures occur when the bone is crushed, while comminuted fractures occur when the bone shatters. Recurrent fractures are those that occur in the same location as a previous fracture.
