X-Rays don't determine whether a bone is broken. They just make fuzzy shadow pictures of what is under your skin. Unless its a really obvious fracture, it takes the trained eye of a radiologist looking at the pictures to determine whether the bone is broken or not.

both PTH and mechanical forces work together in bone remodeling. PTH determines when or if bone is to be broken down or formed. Once the PTH determines this then the mechanisms ( osteoblasts and osteoclasts) will begin to build or destroy in bone remodeling :) hope this helps!
How do X rays detect bone cancer?
X-rays only show up dense areas in the body such as bone. An x-ray may show tumors in the lung as they show up as dense white patches and they can show bone erosion in people with bone tumours but they can't show up tumours which are the same density as the surrounding organs such as liver or kidney tumours. Similarly some cancers are carried in the blood or lymphatic system and these will also not be distinguishable on an x-ray. Other procedures can be used to outline these tumours, such as the use of x-ray dyes, CT scans or ultrasounds.

Then new bone , called callus , starts to grow from the broken ends . the callus grows between the broken ends of bone and starts to harden .whenit is completely hard , the bone is back to normal ! After the age of 25yrs(approx)bones take longer to heal .You can help it along by eating calcium rich foods like milk or fish.
