A member asked:
If it is not a bone fracture, is it a bone bruise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: No as a bone bruise is a finding that is usually made on MRI there will not be a crack or fracture but evidence of swelling or fluid or a bruise in a bone a regular tissue bruise or. Hematoma may be more common . A bone bruise is usually diagnosed when an MRI is ordered for an injury suspicious for fracture but the plain x-ray criteria are not met and the MRI shows injury but no fracture.
