Progresses of ultrasound-guided closed reduction and minimally invasive fixation of limb fractures / 中国医学影像技术

ABSTRACT

The treatment of limb fractures with closed reduction and minimally invasive fixation with C-arm or conventional X-ray guidance has been widely accepted and gradually developed due to less trauma and rapid healing.However,the radiation damage of X-ray can not be ignored.With the continuous progresses of ultrasound technology,the application of ultrasound in clinic is involved not only in the diagnosis of fractures,but also in the closed reduction and fixation of fractures.The research progresses of ultrasound-guided closed reduction and minimally invasive fixation of limb fractures were reviewed in this article.
