ANSWER
The radiograph shows no obvious fracture or dislocation. However, there are two small, radiopaque densities noted within the soft tissue. These are most likely consistent with broken glass pieces.

When the laceration was irrigated and the wound probed, the glass bits were found and removed prior to wound closure.
