Answer:

First of all you have to activate the emergency system, which some call SEM. In this way we will call the ambulance to quickly go to the accident area.

Then you have to try to calm the person, take their vital signs, do not go into shock, and in the event that there is a lot of bleeding, perform a tourniquet to avoid bleeding.

As a next step, it is necessary to ensure that the person is immobilized and that the person does not try to stand up or move further to avoid worsening the fracture, since in this case, when the bone is seen, it is an exposed fracture.

Try to keep the injured area as clean as possible and remove dirty clothes or peripheral soil from the area of the injury, as this could lead to future osteomyelitis during the formation of the bone cay once the patient has been treated.

Explanation:

The exposed fractures can be more or less favorable according to whether the muscular action pulls the fractured line separating the ends or even less unfavorable, as well as to promoting the union of the fractured ends.

On the other hand, the exposed fracture, together with the comminuted ones, are the ones with the worst prognosis and the ones that are the most complicated to treat.

Exposure of bone to the external environment may predispose to a high risk of infections that could trigger osteomyelitis, which is a severe infection in bone tissue.
