shaft fracture, fracture of the diaphysis
"Diafysär" is here an attribute to "fraktur", although it is put after this word. The meaning is that the fracture is located to the diaphysis - the middle, shaft part of a long bone (in this case the tibia and/or fibula).
The most common English expression is "shaft fracture", but "fracture of the diaphysis" might also be used.
I don't work into English but would suggest something like "An open, second degree shaft fracture of the lower leg ..."

: Correct, I forgot to think of diaphyseal, but I still believe that "shaft fracture" is the most common phrase.

"shaft fracture" is undoubtedly more common overall - depends very much on the nature of the text. I wouldn't use "diaphyseal" in a discharge note for example, but would perhaps in an academic article :-)
