Does an area of repeated bruising have a higher chance of fracture?

Question:

My wrist is almost always bruised, and one of my friends said she thought it could fracture more easily than if it wasn't always bruised. So I was wondering if that's true, and if it is, what should I do about it?

Answers:
Hello, if you can, go to your doctor and ask him to run a set of labs of you, CBC, PT, PTT, H/H, and sed rate, that might be helpful.
Bruising like that usually couldn't lead to a fx. BUT the underlying reason why you bruise easily could. Talk to him about anemia and taking an iron pill or iron rich food.
Get blood work done, see if there is any reason why this is occurring.
Have a blessed life.

No that is not true. Bruising is a result of a broken blood vessel and has nothing to do with increased risk of fractures.

i would imagine that an area that is constantly being injured would be more likely to fracture. you should go to a doctor if it's always bruised, just in case you have a clotting problem.

What could cause thaat much bruising? My guess would be that you will have a greater chance at snapping a tendon if its always bruised.
