6. Swelling
Swelling in the injured area is one of the most classic symptoms of a buckle fracture or other type of fracture. All broken bones bleed to some extent. The edema, which is the term for bleeding, will also cause a person to feel pain in the injury site. Muscles around the broken bone may try to hold them in place. This can cause painful spasms that increase bleeding and swelling. This swelling between the layers of fat, muscle, and skin are the most notable symptoms of a buckle fracture.
Any injury to the body can cause the liquid to seep into the soft tissue which will result in swelling. Swelling is a common symptom present in several medical conditions, but when a person has just suffered an injury, swelling is most likely due to a buckle fracture. As more blood begins to collect under the skin, the swollen area will start to bruise.
