name the type of fracture where the bone is broken completely but stays inside the skin.

The type of fracture where the bone is broken completely but does not break through the skin is called a closed fracture , also known as a simple fracture.

Quick Scoop

  • In a closed fracture, the bone is fully broken into two or more pieces but all the broken parts stay inside the body, with the skin remaining intact.
  • The opposite is an open (compound) fracture, where the broken bone pierces the skin or is visible through a wound.

So, the correct name you are looking for is: closed (simple) complete fracture.
