    A fracture is a break or crack in the bone, categorized into closed fractures, which do not puncture the skin, and open fractures, where the bone does puncture the skin. Both types can cause internal bleeding and may lead to shock. Particularly in children, bones may bend or split easily, akin to a twig, even though injuries remain extremely painful. Signs of a fracture include swelling, bruising, unnatural movement, and possibly a grating sensation.
