It is true. It's because fractures are thin, small, and bone is not a solid substance, it's porous. The deposits that the body lays down while healing are thicker than the original bone (think scar tissue) and show up much more clearly in xrays. It's kind of cool actually. Not that a broken bone is cool....
My son's broken arm was glaringly obvious a week after the injury. lol If only he'd acted like it was broken a bit sooner....duh.
