Answer:

When a fracture happens, it's classified as either open or closed: Open fracture

Step-by-step explanation:

(Also called compound fracture): The bone pokes through the skin and can be seen, or a deep wound exposes the bone through the skin. Closed fracture (also called simple fracture). The bone is broken, but the skin is intact.
