Metacarpal fracture or bruise?

Hello

I was at the hospital today, they took an x-ray, and the doctor couldn't see any fractures. But he still wants a CT scan to completely rule out a fracture. He tested my wrist, and it's flexible. However, whenever I lift or curl my little finger, it tugs a little, but the pain is bearable. Is my hand just bruised? What do you think?

The doctor is completely Lost

Clearly the night rail falls off, swelling is “mobile”.

Well, if he suspects a fracture, a CT is more accurate.

Google times the safe fracture signs. Apropo CT makes sense only when you want to see certain types of tissue. But hey main thing ass expensive wire transfers seem to blow out.

Unfortunately, this is not true. Certain tissue rasters and soft parts can only be seen in the MRT.But a CT can already show a fracture that is not yet visible in the X-ray.

There are some fractures that cannot be seen immediately on the X-ray image. For example, I have a Kahn leg fracture on my hand, which was not recognized in the X-ray at first. That’s why the doctor wants the c’t. Good improvement. LG

A CT can usually be more accurate than an X-ray image and can help to detect even minor fractures or injuries that may not be visible on an X-ray image.

No, not necessarily.
