A girl falls off her bike and breaks a bone in her leg. The bone can be seen poking through the skin. X-rays show that the bone is broken into two pieces. Which words best describe this kind of break?

The bone is poking through the skin, so this is a compound fracture. The X-ray shows the bone is broken into two pieces, meaning the break goes all the way through the bone; this is a complete fracture. Therefore, the best descriptions are compound and complete.
