Question 247 of 533

How is an open fracture of the limbs recognized?

A the fractured area is swollen;
B the skin is pierced in the fracture area;
C the injured person cannot move.

Explanation

The fracture represents the break of a bone or a cartilage of a limb of the body. Most frequently, these appear at the level of the limbs and the most predisposed to the occurrence of fractures are elderly people, due to the lower elasticity of the bones.

The fractures can be:

  • closed (the skin remains intact);
  • open (there is an open wound down to the level of the broken bone).

Therefore, an open fracture of the limbs is recognized by the fact that the skin is pierced in the fracture area.

The correct answer is: B
