A member asked:
Where does a fractured forearm get examined? at the x-ray place or the orthopedic clinic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Orthopaedic clinic: A clinical examination by a physician should be the first step. In that way the most appropriate x-ray can be ordered (if necessary) and then interpreted. Treatment depends on the clinical exam and the x-ray.
