A member asked:
Can you tell me if a growth plate fracture or only a bruise, how to tell?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
An xray will tell --: And seeing an orthopod will confirm, it to be one or the other. At age 49, you don't get a growth plate problem; unless the question was about some kid. Good luck.
