Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Dog bite wounds are not usually stitched.
Only open dressings are recommended.
In view of fracture,it is better to consult orthopedic surgeon regarding immobilisation and support of the bone fragments.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
