While an undisplaced fracture may not be visible on an x-ray taken soon after the injury, it will usually become visible after a fortnight, when healing has started. A visible fracture will not disappear. Fractures generally take at least three months to heal fully and a healed fracture may be visible on x-ray many years later.
