The diagnostic studies that are most useful for assessing skeletal trauma are X-RAYS or RADIOGRAPHY AND BLOOD WORK or STUDIES.
Radiography includes the X rays as imaging techniques are used to visualize the structure of bones which become visible due to the presence of calcium deposition in the bone.
Blood work or studies are used to look for any bone injuries that results in red blood cells destruction. This leads to rise in bilirubin content and decrease in hemoglobin content.
