Summary
Musculoskeletal sonography can detect subtle hardware complications and tendon injuries after distal radius fracture fixation, even when X-rays appear normal. This imaging technique aids in timely diagnosis and treatment of post-operative pain.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Musculoskeletal Imaging
- Radiology
Background:
- Tendon injuries are a recognized complication following distal radius fracture fixation with plates and screws.
- Radiographs may not identify all hardware-related abnormalities or associated tendon injuries.
