TracyCee and Blujax are correct. The only way to confirm a hairline fracture is through an x-ray.

Some times a fracture, hairline or not will not be apparent on an x-ray. However as the bone begins to heal itself calcium is deposited along the fracture line and they are more easily seen.

Hope this has been helpful.
