depends on what bone your talking about

however for quick refernece, Google it
Broken bones can look different. In my experience, When i shattered my foot, it was black and blue, swollen. when i broke and dislocated my wrist, its swelled, but didn't turn black and blue. Some sprains that are bad enough can look like broken bones on the outside. i've sprained my ankle, and i looked like my ankle did when i sprained it. the only way to tell and not spend a whole lot of money of 2 x-rays, is one of the most painful ways. you have to feel the whole bone and if you feel a little bump, go to a doctor right away. Hope this helps!
