ROMBOLA, E. Radiological evaluation of bone synthesis in the upper limb. Rev. argent. radiol. [online]. 2017, vol.81, n.4, pp.285-295. ISSN 1852-9992.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j-rard.2016.11.007.

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.
