Question

question 46
closed fractures are:
a fractures involving multiple bony fragments
b fractures found in limbs only
c completely internal
d the most dangerous type of fracture
e fractures that project through skin

Explanation:

Closed fractures, also known as simple fractures, are fractures where the bone is broken but there is no open wound in the skin. This means the fracture is completely internal.

• Option A describes a comminuted fracture (not a closed fracture).
• Option B is incorrect as closed fractures can occur in various bones, not just limbs.
• Option D: Open fractures (where bone projects through skin, which is Option E) are generally more dangerous due to higher risk of infection. Closed fractures are less prone to such severe infection risks as they are internal.

Answer:

C. completely internal
