Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Any dislocation/fracture is a grievous injury medico-legally.Always it is better to Xray grievous injury before setting it as medico-legal evidence is needed often. Simple dislocations may be reduced even before xray for treatment purpose but if some legal opinion is needed in a case it is safer to get x ray before hand.
