An occult fracture often presents with vague pain and swelling, which may not be immediately obvious on initial X-rays. Symptoms can include tenderness in the area, difficulty moving the affected limb, and sometimes referred pain. Diagnosis typically involves further imaging, such as MRI or CT scans, to confirm the fracture. Treatment usually consists of rest, immobilization, and pain management, and depending on the location and severity, surgery may be required; you might still be able to move your fingers, but it could be painful.
