A member asked:
Is it possible to miss a fracture in an elbow and if it was fractured what symptoms wolould i have? very concerned!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anything is possible: Elbow radiography can be difficult to interpret . If you have mechanical type symptoms such as locking or catching, or if you have persistent pain despite an appropriately period of rest (1-2 weeks) you may want to consider undergoing a repeat evaluation.
