I had hairline(fissure) fractures in my first and second rib and also in the scapula of the right shoulder. they were faint in the x-ray photoes. after 5 years i made another confirmatory x-ray on the same reigons... and i have got the report which said that there were no fractures happened. is that possible that the bones are completely healed that they did not show up in the x-ray photoes after those years?

 Hello,
Yes, I would expect the hairline fractures to heal by 5 years and no evidence of fracture lines during that time is to be expected.
No fracture lines are a good sign of healing!
Take care.
