A member asked:
Would your regular urgent care doctor know that a hairline fracture doesn't show up on a x-ray right away? if so what would they do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably : But then again most hail line fxs are treated like sprains etc and usually do well if problems persist then you would need to seek attention most likely with an orthopedist.
