Can an x-ray miss a broken hand?
Yes, especially in the carpal bones (which are really in the wrist). A very commonly missed one is a scaphoid fracture, that usually occurs when one falls on an outstretched hand. If the patient's "anatomical snuff box" (area just above the thumb" is painful to palpation after such mechanism of injury, we still place a splint, even if initial the X-ray is negative. A repeat X-ray performed 1 week later would usually show the fracture that was not visible on the first X-ray. READ MORE
Can pneumonia cause pain in ribs?
Since pneumonia is inflammation of lung tissue, it cannot cause pain in the ribs (bone) per se. However, pneumonia can cause pain in the chest/rib cage area. This pain is usually worsened with deep breaths or cough. Hence, we call it pleuritic chest pain. READ MORE
