After 4 weeks of a radial head fracture, the x-ray report states “x ray shows non displaced salter Harris IV radial head fracture with bony building.” 

Is bony building good or bad in regards to healing?

    What did you doctor say?  It sounds good to me.  I had a broken bone in my foot and the 4 week x ray showed a milky or hazy color between the non displaced fracture.  My doctor said that was bone building material brought to the site by my blood supply.
