What does a bone bruise look like on an xray?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
They don't: Bone bruises do not show up on X-rays, but an X-ray can confirm that a fracture is not present. https://www.physio-pedia.com/Bone_bruise

Not visible: A true bone bruise will not typically be visible on X-ray. An MRI is the test that typically confirms the diagnosis, if needed.
