Summary

This study looks at whether ultrasound can accurately detect when bone has healed enough during Ilizarov frame treatment. Researchers will compare ultrasound images with standard X-rays and physical exams in 56 patients. If successful, ultrasound could provide a safer, radiation-free way to decide when to remove the frame.
