Explanation:

• Compound fracture: A compound fracture is also known as an open fracture. In this type of fracture, the broken bone protrudes through the skin.
• Comminuted fracture: In a comminuted fracture, the bone shatters into fragments.
• Impacted fracture: An impacted fracture is a compression fracture along the long axis of a bone.
• Simple fracture: A simple fracture is also called a closed fracture. Here, the broken bone does not protrude through the skin.
• Spiral fracture: A spiral fracture is a common child - abuse injury. It is caused by a twisting force.

Answer:

1. Compound fracture - broken bone that protrudes through the skin
2. Comminuted fracture - bone that shatters into fragments
3. Impacted fracture - compression fracture along the long axis of a bone
4. Simple fracture - broken bone that does not protrude through the skin
5. Spiral fracture - common child abuse injury, twisting break
