Bruises, pain, swell: Persistent pain with localized pain and tenderness always accompany hand fractures. Bruising is usually present and if the fracture is displaced meaning the pieces of bone are out of alignment, it will have a deformity that shows up in the fingers as a finger that is out of its normal position. The best way to diagnose a fracture is with an x-ray. Some fractures may require other studies.
