Abstract
The role of scintigraphy in the prediction of fracture-healing was evaluated. Adult patients (60) with tibial shaft fractures treated by non-operative means were studied by scintigraphy 6 wk after fracture. Visual assessment and computer analysis of the scintigrams give reliable information regarding the future progress of fracture healing and the time of fracture union.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
