Evaluación radiológica de los elementos de osteosíntesis en el miembro superior

The treatment of bone fractures of the upper limb can be performed by closed or open methods. Closed methods are based on the principle of immobilisation and / or traction with external materials. Instead, open surgical methods use elements of internal or external fixation. The X-ray is the first method of choice in the post-operative evaluation of these elements. A basic knowledge of the materials used is necessary to make a good assessment and medical report.
