Hidden fracture

When a bone is impacted, if the fracture site is very small or the fracture line is very thin, and the bone on the impact surface is not displaced, the initial X-ray will show normal. We call it "hidden fracture". The incidence is 7 ~ 45%. After physical activity, after several days or even weeks, follow the X-rays to see the fracture more clearly.

Potential nerve, muscle, and ligament damage

Joints are composed of muscles, nerves, ligaments, and blood vessels. When joints are injured, these accessory tissues will be affected. However, during the period of joint swelling, these injuries are difficult to inspect. Usually, the swelling of the joints is relieved a few days after the injury, and further related examinations are required.

Delayed internal bleeding

When the trunk is impacted, some blood capillaries (non-arterial, venous bleeding) are not easy to be found right away, and symptoms may gradually appear after hours or days.
