Could a simple ultrasound replace painful, costly x-rays for kids with leg lengthening rods?
NCT ID NCT07212049
Summary
This study is testing whether ultrasound can be used instead of x-rays to measure the length of internal rods used to lengthen leg bones in children and teens. Researchers will compare ultrasound and x-ray measurements in 10 patients to see if ultrasound is just as accurate. The goal is to find a safer, cheaper, and less painful way to monitor these devices during treatment.
