A modified Radiographic Union Score for Tibia (RUST) scoring system for patella fractures treated with osteosynthesis shows excellent intra und interobserver reliability
This study validated the Radiographic Union Score for Tibia (RUST) for evaluating bone healing in patellar fractures treated with osteosynthesis, demonstrating good intra- and interobserver reliability. The modified RUST can provide a standardized method for assessing healing in patellar fractures, benefiting both clinical practice and clinical trials.
