Will I Need an X-Ray?
Fractured and broken bones are two common problems that will require an x-ray to determine their severity. Your bones may be rigid, but they may still “give” some if they are pressed upon. However, too much force will ultimately cause your bone to crack or even break completely. Serious accidents, such as high falls or car accidents, can cause the bone to even shatter. DOCS Urgent Care in East Haven is here to take a look at your injuries and provide you with any necessary x-rays or treatment.
Common Bone Fractures
There are a few different types of bone fractures, such as:
Comminuted fracture- This type of fracture is where the bone is shattered in at least three different places.
Oblique fracture- When a fracture produces an angled pattern in the bone.
Open, or compound, fracture- A fracture where the bone pierces through the skin and may be visible to the naked eye.
Stable fracture- The bones that are broken still line up well together.
Transverse fracture- A fracture that results in a horizontal line in the bone.
Symptoms of a Broken or Fractured Bone
You probably have one of the two if you:
- Have an intense or shooting pain when you try to move the affected area
- Bruises develop around the area
- You have tenderness and/or swelling
- You can see the bone through punctured skin or your affected limb looks deformed or out of place
If you have any of these symptoms, please seek medical attention immediately. We can x-ray your injury and get you the treatment that you need right away, no waiting.
