Why Your Child's Pain May Be a Fracture Even if the X-Ray Looks Fine

from The Scope

Not all fractures show up clearly on an X-ray—especially in children whose growth plates can disguise breaks. Tom Miller, MD, talks to Joy English, MD, about how doctors identify growth plate fractures, why they may go undetected, and what steps parents should take if their child is still in pain despite a “normal” X-ray.
