Fractures: have significant pain, deformity and loss of function. Strains are sore, you can have bruising and the arm can be stiff. If it is a fx the arm can be stabilized by a splint or Cast initially. An X-ray can confirm if there is a fracture and permanent treatment can be either casting, splinting or surgery depending on the fracture. Sprains are treated with rest, ICE and Nsaids.

Do you mean: you suspect a fracture or you have one and it is suspicious meaning someone is worried it is associated with greater issue. For the former, get an X-ray, for the latter see a hand surgeon
