What are the common presenting symptoms of hand bone fracture?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hand fracture: If the fracture is subtle then there may just be little or no swelling. The more severe the fracture the more swelling you will see. There also may be a gross deformity present if the fracture is displaced.

Pain and swelling: Most fractures cause pain and tenderness at the site. Bruising is often present and if the bones are displaced or moved, there will be a deformity.
