Bone remodelling after scaphoid fractures: HR-pQCT, clinical and laboratory data from a prospective 1-year follow-up study
This study shows detailed clinical, laboratory and radiologic changes during follow-up of uncomplicated fracture healing of conservative scaphoids. Bony consolidation is highly variable and can take up to one year after fracture. Larger studies are warranted, as HR-pQCT might provide detailed microstructural information to better predict fracture healing processes, thus acting as a high-resolution and low-radiation alternative to standard conventional CT.
