Ultrasonographic Measurement of Torsional Side Difference in Proximal Humerus Fractures and Humeral Shaft Fractures: Theoretical Background with Technical Notes for Clinical Implementation
Both nonoperative and operative treatment of proximal humerus fractures (PHF) and humeral shaft fractures can result in torsional side differences.Several measurement methods are available to determine torsional malalignment.While conventional X-ray or computed tomography would entail additional radiation exposure for the patient, and while magneti
