Diagnosis & Tests

How is the condition diagnosed?

After doing a complete medical history and physical exam, the doctor may order:

  • a biopsy of any fluid or growths to check for infection or tumors
  • a nerve conduction test, also called an NCV, to measure nerve damage from the injury
  • blood tests to rule out infection, including a complete blood count
  • imaging tests, such as MRI, if a tumor is suspected
  • X-rays to locate the break and its severity
