Fracture is the medical terminology, it is that same thing as broken.

Its basically the same thing, its just medical folk use the term fracture, where as ordinary people say broken. A fractured nose means you've fractured your nasal bone.

Well broken could mean just that broken in one place but a fractured would be a multiple of places broken in the nose like a cracked mirror but if broken it might be easy to fix hope I made since not a doctor.

I think a fractured nose is what my daughter gave me the other day. There's a crack in the cartillage. A broken nose is a clean break that needs to be reset and all that. They're probably the same thing really though.

broke is usually only one crack, fractured means many breaks.
