Yes. Sets up an ideal environment for infection.

And, you are correct about clots, etc. Further, every P & P (policy and
procedure manual and all hospitals have them) that I've ever seen calls for
*immediate* treatment of a compound fracture! That doesn't mean wait two
days, that means getting an orth surgeon called in to do emergency surgery!
This is particularly important in the elder when blood flow is a problem and
the longer you wait the more likely you are to further compromise their
circulation.

I missed the part about a compound fracture. Isn't that where the bone
breaks the skin?
