A member asked:

Hi, i injured my hand in a contact sport. wanted to check if its just a muscle injury from contact or could be broken hand bones, which would need an x-ray?

If any doubt...: ...go get checked, and get the x-ray. Sorry, but we can't examine you from here. Nor are the absences of bruising, diminished range of motion, or severe pain definitive for a non-fracture.

Yes: an Xray can help to determine if there is actually a fracture or no.
