10 Bone Fracture Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Bruising
Broken blood vessels are just as likely to leak blood when under the skin as they are when exposed. This means that blood can be released beneath the skin where it will collect until the broken blood vessels clot. This is what we commonly know as a bruise and they are a clear sign that you have experienced some kind of trauma.
Any impact that can break a broken bone is also likely to be able to break a blood vessel. This means that internal bleeding may also occur and this will result in a bruise. The bruise will fade in time as the wound heals.
