It is a possible fracture given your findings. Please request an x ray as indicated by your physician. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available, but an x ray may be suggested by order only.

The most definitive way to exclude a fracture is to obtain the appropriate imaging of the area afflicted by trauma. Start with a standard X-ray, and consider orthopedic consultation.
