Mr. A met with an accident and his right femur broke at 3 different places. The cut was a clean break and the four pieces were put back together in their original place. What kind of fracture did he have? Correct Answer Multiple Fracture

When a bone breaks at many places but the break is clean and can be put together in its original place or if many bones break together, then these two kinds of fractures are called multiple fractures. In a compound fracture, the bones break into tiny pieces and that too very close together. It is not possible to fit them in their original places so the bones are removed. In Mr. A’s case, a simple support rod along with placing the bones in their original place should help his leg recover.
