  4. X-ray question. Has a broken kneecap?

X-ray question

2018-08-06 20:13:50
This is a hypothetical question, so don't say i'm trying to hurt myself. What would make a bone look broken on an x-ray. I am purely curious, because a bone is so dense that metal could show up bright. What could be passed as a bone fracture. What would trick a doctor to thinking someone has a broken kneecap? Anything that you put on top the skin to show up on an x-ray as a break.
