AM14: “Is It Healed, Doc?”: Assessment of Union and STS Score (Lecture, Dr. Sommerkamp)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses a scoring system they use to assess bone healing in fractures. They explain that traditional imaging methods like x-rays are unreliable in assessing union and introduce the use of CT scans instead. The speaker presents a case study of a pitcher with a scaphoid fracture, showing CT scans at different time points to track the progress of bone healing. They emphasize the importance of high-quality images for accurate assessment. The speaker concludes by noting that more complex fractures may require longer healing times. No credits are mentioned in the video.
