**Triage Stabilization: You can secure the bone with a makeshift splint by using medical gauze on it. This will lessen your interaction/limp slowdowns, though you'll still need to get the bone treated. | **Triage Stabilization: You can secure the bone with a makeshift splint by using medical gauze on it.

* Negative effects: If suffered on an arm or leg, the limb is disabled until treated or splinted. If suffered on the head, you receive random severe brain traumas until the wound is fixed. If suffered on the chest, a significant chance to cough up blood when hit in chest. Counts as mangled bone for purposes of dismemberment. | * Negative effects: If suffered on an arm or leg, the limb is disabled until treated or splinted.

Brute and flinch damage done during surgery can dismember the limb, for example the saw step from organ manipulation, or moving mid surgery step. | ||
* Full Treatment: Five step [[Surgery#Repair%20Compound%20Fracture|surgery]], starting with the standard incise, clamp, retract. Step 4 is to reset the bone, and is best done with bonesetters, though surgical sticky tape or standard sticky tape can do in a pinch. Then step five is to repair the fracture which is done with either bone gel or surgical sticky tape, though normal sticky tape working as an alternative. Truly, <s>duct</s> surgical sticky tape is a miracle fixer that no self-respecting paramedic should be without. | * Full Treatment: Five step [[Surgery#Repair%20Compound%20Fracture|surgery]], starting with the standard incise, clamp, retract.

*Improvised Treatment: Apply bone gel and surgical sticky tape to the affected limb, same as with hairline fractures. Having a friend help you is even more important than with hairline fractures, as your penalties for successful gel application and tape recovery time are more punishing than for hairlines. | *Improvised Treatment: Apply bone gel and surgical sticky tape to the affected limb, same as with hairline fractures.

*Full Treatment: Two step [[Surgery#Debride%20Infected%20Flesh|surgery]] with hemostat/scalpel and bandages will resolve all infection and some flesh damage. Otherwise, infection can also be treated by spaceacillin, sterilizine, or paramedic UV penlights. Ointment and regenerative mesh can heal the rest of flesh damage. | *Full Treatment: Two step [[Surgery#Debride%20Infected%20Flesh|surgery]] with hemostat/scalpel and bandages will resolve all infection and some flesh damage.

* Improvised Treatment: Miner's Salve is fairly effective at both healing flesh damage and sanitizing any infection. | * Improvised Treatment: Miner's Salve is fairly effective at both healing flesh damage and sanitizing any infection. | ||
