Abstract
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.
