A Dr. Jeanne Morrison, PhD , Family Medicine, answered. You can manage a closed fracture on a daily basis by elevation of the extremity, ice in the early stage (be careful not to burn the skin - keep a layer of padding between the ice bag and the skin), and rest. Good nutrition and adequate hydration is also important.
A fracture is a broken bone. Fractures can range in severity from a crack (known as a hairline or greenstick fracture), to a complete break and separation of a bone that may protrude through your skin (known as an open or compound fracture). closed fracture is one in which the bones do not break the skin, while in an open (also known as compound) fracture, one or more bone fragments protrudes through the skin.
