X-rays look at fractures mainly for the fracture line and, in addition, for any obvious dislocations. For clearly displaced fractures, X-rays can be more accurate. In the case of linear fractures, X-rays are mainly to see translucent lines and sometimes may not be able to accurately detect linear fractures because of overlapping images. In this case, additional tests, such as local CT and 3D reconstruction, are needed to determine the fracture more accurately. In some cases, linear fractures can be detected accurately. If a fracture is detected on x-ray, different treatment options are available depending on the type of fracture. If the fracture is not significantly displaced, it can be treated conservatively with plaster fixation. Of course, if the fracture is significantly displaced and affects the healing and functional recovery of the fracture, surgical repositioning and fixation is required after the local swelling has subsided.
