Ultrasound Monitoring of Bone Healing in Ilizarov Bone Transport
Sponsor: Assiut University
Summary
This prospective study evaluates the role of ultrasound in assessing bony union during Ilizarov bone transport. Ultrasound findings will be compared with radiographic and clinical outcomes to determine its accuracy in detecting early bone healing and predicting mechanical stability. The study aims to establish ultrasound as a reliable, radiation-free tool to guide safe frame dynamization and removal.
