I am really sorry for your experience - it would be difficult for me to answer without some more details....if your partner contacts me via: patient.involvement@ulh.nhs.uk with some personal details I can have your concerns investigated. Sometimes fractures do not show up immediately on x-rays for a variety of reasons - but equally the fracture could have been missed - it is important that we know. Again please accept our apologies and do not hesitate to get in touch.
