Abstract:
ive] To explore a new method of evaluating the healing of fractures. [Methods] Self-con trolled trial was applied. Bone mineral density ( BMD) of fracture end (region 3, R 3 ) and its neighboring proximal and distal regions ( R 2 and R 1 respectively) in 126 cases of fracture of lower end of radius was deter mined by dual-energy X-ray absorptionmetry. [Results] BMD of R3 elevated as compared with that of R 2 and R1 (P
