My friend said he had an open fracture but in that was very little blood I lately don't see how that's possible with a bone sticking right out of your skin. Someone please explain to me how this is possible?
Answers:

yes, it would bleed a lot.. he probably had a mild compound fracture compared to most relatives.
answer mine ?

An open fracture would bleed slightly a lot. If the bone is completely fractured (i.e. snapped in half) next not only will the bone be bleeding copiously (because bones have a massively rich blood supply) but the skin would also be bleeding as well.
If it was a vastly small fracture that only punctured a tiny piece of skin (which would still be classified as 'open') then it wouldn't bleed too much, but the classic 'open' fracture next to two ends of a bone coming out of the skin bleeds. Lots.
