What is the role of X-rays in the fracture? X-ray shows the
right position of the broken bone in the body. Without X-ray, it is not
possible to see which bone/s is affected by the injury.
The X-rays shows the nature of the fracture, the condition
of the bones and tissues, and whether any foreign objects have been introduced
to the area. With the help of the X-ray results, doctor can take the right
decision about the injury. The
images produced will also help the doctor determine what treatment can be done,
like taping up ribs to immobilize them for healing. When broken bones are found
in the extremities, they are often not exactly clean breaks and surgery may be
needed to remove bone fragments, insert pins or rods to stabilize the bone, or
realign the bones before any casts or immobilization aids can be applied to set
the break.
When a person got into an accident, then there is lot of problem
that can occur in finding the injury.
When an injury is not obvious, like a piece of bone is having broken the
skin, X-rays must be taken to discern the exact nature of the break. Doctors
always start their treatment after the X-ray. It is the right way of
treatment. Not all breaks are obvious to the patient, or their companions, like
broken ribs. Even a femoral fracture can be walked on, especially greenstick or
stress fractures, with considerable pain, but it can be done.
Today’s there is the facility where you can have X-ray. So
it is my suggestion to all the patients and the family members. Always use this
facility when this type of problem occurs. The cost of this facility is usually
around $150-400. In the government hospital this facility is free.
