Summary edit

Description
English: Fracture

Fractures are the first injury you should be aware of. There are four types of fractures: 

   Closed fracture: Broken bone doesn't puncture the skin.
   Open fracture: Bone protrudes through the skin. With this type of injury, the wound allows contaminants to enter the fracture site.
   Displaced fracture: Bone is no longer aligned. If the limb is angled, there is a displaced fracture.
Nondisplaced fracture: Bone remains aligned. A nondisplaced fracture can be hard to identify. The main signs are pain and swelling.
