Small fractures can be painful and traumatic but those that result from a motor vehicle accident or a fall from a high place are of a different magnitude. Such accidents can cause serious injuries all over the body, shattering and/or breaking multiple bones, often in several places. Treatment of these "complex” or “high energy” fractures is complicated. Bone fractures are usually classified as either simple or compound. Simple (or closed) fractures are when there is no break in the skin and therefore no exposure of the bone outside the body. Compound (or open) fractures are when the bone either punctures the skin or otherwise can be seen outside the body. If you suspect you suffered a compound fracture, call for help immediately. And while waiting for help to arrive, avoid any unnecessary movement. Remember that you have an exposed wound and are vulnerable to infection. Do not try to realign the broken bone. Wait for a medical professional to do it for you or you could contaminate the wound and damage the affected tissue.
