Dayton Shields · Answer 1

You compare the xray taken to the drawing of the bones to see if your arm

is any different

Ashanti Monroe · Answer 2

The drawing shows what the bone would look like if it weren't broken, and the x-ray shows the arm which may be broken, so you could use the drawing as a guide to compare the two. You could compare the x-ray to see any differences in the bones to decide whether it was broken or not.
