A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: Some fractures are not visible on plain x-rays. Now that you have a diagnosis and your doctor is treating it, you should be okay. If you don't trust your physician, you could always take the images to another orthopedic surgeon for a second opinion.
