A member asked:
Could someone diagnose break with hand x-ray?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: In most cases fractures are usually diagnosed on radiograph of hand. It is usually not a difficult diagnosis. Sometimes fractures of carpal bones(small bones between fingers and forearm) may be difficult to recognize, but fractures of fingers are usually readily apparent.
