    There are two main types of fractures: open fractures where the bone breaks through the skin, and closed or simple fractures where the bone breaks but there is no wound. Signs of a fracture include pain, deformity, loss of function, discoloration, and victims providing information if conscious. The aims of treatment are to open airways, control bleeding, treat for shock, splint the fracture, and apply ice to reduce swelling and pain. ICE stands for applying ice for compression if bleeding, and elevation to reduce blood flow and swelling. People should pay attention to their body and report pain to a medic.
