Fractures ( 58 Questions)
Which clinical manifestation is common in a closed fracture?
Bone fragments protruding through the skin: This symptom is associated with an open or compound fracture, where the bone pierces through the skin.
Visible deformity at the fracture site: Visible deformity may occur in both closed and open fractures, but it is not specific to closed fractures.
In a closed fracture, where the skin remains intact over the fractured bone, intense localized pain and tenderness at the fracture site are common symptoms. The skin acts as a barrier, preventing bone fragments from protruding through the skin.
Open wound with bleeding at the fracture site: An open wound with bleeding is characteristic of an open or compound fracture, not a closed fracture.
