Whenever breaking a bone or spraining something or things of that nature, PTs and orthopedists always say “if it doesn’t hurt it’s fine.”
What would be scenarios where pain (or lack thereof) DOESN’T properly let you know if something is fully healed or injured or not?

Nah that’s utter bullshit. Clean non complicated fractures don’t hurt much if at all at rest.
absence of pain is no good indicator. An accident could have also damaged the nerves for that area making it impossible to feel pain there, degree of pain varies massively between people. Someone with severe endometriosis who’s in debaliting passing out level pain will barely blink upon a sprained ankle, but someone who’s not experiencing those high amounts of pain frequently might not be able to walk on it.
