Wikipedia
compound fracture
A bone fracture (abbreviated FRX or Fx, Fx, or #) is a medical condition in which there is a partial or complete break in the continuity of any bone in the body. In more severe cases, the bone may be broken into several fragments, known as a comminuted fracture. A bone fracture may be the result of high force impact or stress, or a minimal trauma injury as a result of certain medical conditions that weaken the bones, such as osteoporosis, osteopenia, bone cancer, or osteogenesis imperfecta, where the fracture is then properly termed a pathologic fracture.

compound fracture
A compound fracture, also known as an open fracture, is a type of bone fracture in which the broken bone penetrates the skin or the skin is injured from the fracture, causing an open wound. This type of fracture is often severe as there is a high risk of infection and it takes longer to heal due to the involvement of soft tissues.
