Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my little one just accidentally kicked a tetherball pole.( at camp) she went to the camp doctor because it was hurting and the doctor said it was probably a strained muscle and a bruised blood vessel. She did not think it was fractured. Could the doctor determine this without an x-ray?
Traumatic hit injury can lead to bruise due to hematoma formation. If there is fracture in your leg bone then it is difficult to walk on it Clinical examination will help in diagnosing problem. You will need X ray to confirm or rule out minor fracture.
Apply crepe bandage over leg or use supportive splint. Do ice fomentation and rest to leg.

How To Determine A Fracture In Leg?
Hello, I have studied your case history. Traumatic hit injury can lead to bruise due to hematoma formation. If there is fracture in your leg bone then it is difficult to walk on it Clinical examination will help in diagnosing problem. You will need X ray to confirm or rule out minor fracture. For these symptoms analgesic like ibuprofen and chymotrypsin medication can be started. Apply crepe bandage over leg or use supportive splint. Do ice fomentation and rest to leg.
