The reliability of the Lane-Sandhu score and the modified RUST for the assessment of postoperative radiographs of long bone non-unions and bone defects
Both scores are reliable scoring systems for the interpretation of postoperative bone defects and non-union. There is a slight preference for the mRUST because the reliability was less dependent on the training session. For future research, the interpretation of postoperative radiographs should be well described and a training session is recommended.
