We were talking about the classification of fractures in class last week. The professor said the picture of the compound fracture didn't really do the injury justice. I googled imaged it and she was right! OUCH!
A compound fracture is a fracture of bone that breaks through the skin.
It looks pretty horrific and complicated to treat.
I haven't looked into it too far but I am sure it requires surgery and is at a high risk of infection.
It looks insanely painful and I wont post a pic of it here, but google image has some pretty graphic results, if you so desire!
