Anatomical site variations in healing of pediatric femoral shaft fractures: ultrasound evaluation of conservative treatment
These results indicate that children with femoral shaft fractures at different anatomical sites demonstrated comparable recovery rates during the early 4-week healing period under conservative treatment, and Color Doppler ultrasound can monitor the recovery process and effectively evaluate bone callus growth by detecting the blood supply around the edge of the fracture.
