Researchers dig through old x-rays to find why bone plates fail
NCT ID NCT04008940
Summary
This study looked back at the X-rays of 100 adults who had surgery for a broken thigh bone near the knee. Researchers wanted to understand why the metal plates and screws used to hold the bone together sometimes break or fail before the bone heals. By carefully reviewing old medical images, they aimed to identify which types of fractures or surgical techniques are most at risk for these problems.
