Dear NFL reporters and @AdamSchefter,
Compound isn’t a type of fracture. It’s either open (breaks through the skin) or closed and either simple (1 fracture line and 2 pieces) or comminuted (multiple fracture lines and 3 or more pieces).
Compound isn’t an actual term!!! https://twitter.com/adamschefter/status/1315444812670283776

Hopefully @dak ‘s agent isn’t an idiot like Alex Smith’s agent was when he tried to dictate treatment without knowing what he was talking about.
75% or more of Alex Smith’s complications were due to his agent forcing a plate for his distal tibia fx instead of an IM Nail.

Little known secret: agents of high level athletes dictate who does what surgery on their clients...and it’s usually not the best surgeon for the job.
Player with a clavicle fracture? Let’s have the surgery done by the same guy who did a Tommy John surgery on my other client
