Intra-operative application of ultrasonography combined with limited radiography for the treatment of supracondylar humerus fractures in children: a randomized controlled trial
Abstract:Aims: To introduce a new method of intra-operative application of ultrasonography (US) combined with limited radiography to treat supracondylar humerus fractures in children and evaluate its effect on radiation protection.Material and methods: Fifty patients were randomly divided into the radiography-only group (RO group, n = 22) and the US combined with the limited radiography group (UR group, n = 28). US was performed to evaluate fracture displacement and to guide reduction in the UR group. The primary outco… Show more
