How do you know if your hairline fractured your hand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Xrays: The only way to know for sure is with an xray. I would recommend it if you still have pain after a couple days. Even if its a hairline fracture, you would need a splint or cast to allow the fracture to heal or it will take a lot longer to get better.
