A fracture to be excluded is usually found in the diagnostic imaging report. The diagnosis of fracture to be ruled out is usually given when the clinical or corresponding tests, such as radiographs or CT, are not completely clear on the imaging or determine whether a fracture has occurred. There are two measures, one of which can be based on the physician’s own personal examination of the patient and his own experience, plus the possibility of further review of the MRI of the area, because the MRI may be clearer for these occult fractures and can increase the probability of a definite fracture diagnosis. Alternatively, the patient may be allowed to continue observation and after two weeks, if a fracture is identified at the site, a clear fracture line will usually be present and a combined fracture can be identified. If there are no obvious fracture lines on a repeat radiograph of the site, then the site was not fractured in the first place.
