"So badly" is OK but "the bone was emerged" is incorrect. I would say

He broke his leg so badly in the accident that the bone came/poked through the skin.

What about:
He damaged his leg so badly in the accident that the bone was exposed.

You can say that. It has a different meaning. If the bone is exposed, then it suggests that all the skin and flesh were stripped away so that it was possible to see the bone in its normal position. My suggestion involved his breaking the bone and the bone protruding through the skin. It depends which one you mean.

This is usually called a compound fracture.

That may well be the case but if someone is trying to describe what actually happened and what could be seen (rather than the medical terminology) then describing the skin and bone situation is required.
