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.
