What’s the outlook for people with a compound fracture?

This depends on the actual injury. After your compound fracture heals it will still be seen on X-rays, but you may not be able to tell just by looking at the area. The bone tissues often meld together pretty well. Your bones’ abilities to function should return to their normal usage like before your injury, depending on the severity of the break. You may need a lot of physical therapy to get back to your normal activities.
