🔍 Key Concepts

• Open vs. closed fractures and which has a higher risk of infection • What it means when a bone breaks through the skin • Differences between partial fractures (like a greenstick fracture) and full breaks

💭 Think About

• Which type of fracture is most likely to expose the bone and internal tissues directly to the outside environment? • Which fracture type carries the greatest risk of severe bleeding and infection? • Among the options, which represents a complete break with the greatest potential for complications rather than a small crack or partial break?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice describes a fracture where the skin is broken and bone may be visible • Confirm which types are partial or less severe breaks (such as small cracks or incomplete fractures) • Consider which fracture type would require the most urgent and careful medical treatment due to risk of infection and blood loss
