It is possible to have a fracture after a fall, or it may be a simple soft tissue injury. You cannot determine whether there is a fracture simply by the symptoms of swelling, but you need to go to the hospital for an X-ray to be clear. Because whether it is a soft tissue injury or a fracture, it can lead to swelling in the area, especially in more serious soft tissue injuries or relatively minor, non-dislocated fractures with similar symptoms of swelling and pain as well as limited range of motion, which cannot be clearly distinguished with these symptoms. Some require the use of X-rays or even CT examinations to detect relatively small fractures. Therefore, if you have a traumatic injury with significant swelling and pain, it is recommended that you do not walk on the ground at this time, go to the hospital for a radiograph, and apply continuous ice within 24 hours of the injury to effectively relieve the swelling.
