How would i know if my brothers arm/hand is broken?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Xray: if there is history of trauma (fall, blow), there is swelling and bruising, the arm is not straight, or pain, you should take your brother to have an xray. This will show his bones and the Doctor will be able to determine if the bone is broken. Leaving it alone to heal on its own could result in continued pain, deformities, limited mobility, infection or damage to surrounding nerves/blood vessels
