Hi,
I've currently got a broken scaphoid (I've had 2 bone graft surgeries, the most recent being 7 weeks ago). The injury was missed by my A&E department from my initial fall playing football, and by my GP on a follow up visit 2 weeks later whilst still in pain. This injury occured some 20 months ago.
My issue surrounds when I first attended A&E. I was given x-rays and the doctor who initially treated me suspected a fracture and put this in his notes. He stated the x-rays caused some debate as people in the department suspected a break but couldn't be sure. I was told to come back to the fracture clinic the next day. On my return I met another doctor who showed my x-rays and said there was no fracture, just potenitally a sprain. No further x-rays were taken.
My question is, given what I've read about the difficulty of diagnosing this type of fracture from an x-ray, should I have been referred for more investigation (i.e. MRI/Bone Scan)??
Anyone been in a similar situation? Anyone with expert knowledge of this I'd be very interested to hear your views.
Please Help.
Thanks,
