Clinical and radiological signs of bone healing in conservatively treated fractures in adults
Publikation: Bidrag til tidsskrift › Tidsskriftartikel › Forskning › fagfællebedømt
Traumatic fractures are often treated conservatively. Bone healing is a complex process and the complexities of a fracture, bone quality, treatment, and patient factors are all crucial. Routine X-rays and clinical follow-ups are a significant cost to society as well as exposing the patient to increased radiation and should only be performed if there is a risk of complications that may impact the treatment. It is difficult to assess on X-rays alone, whether there is sufficient bone healing and X-rays are therefore always recommended in conjunction with clinical examination.
