U.S., Aug. 11 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07755787) titled 'Ultrasound Assessment of Pediatric Fracture Healing With the PLUS Score' on Aug. 04.
Brief Summary: This observational study investigates whether ultrasound can safely and accurately monitor the healing of bone fractures in children, comparing it to standard X-rays. Currently, children with fractures often require multiple X-rays during their recovery, which exposes them to small amounts of ionizing radiation. Ultrasound, on the other hand, is completely radiation-free.
The study aims to evaluate a specific ultrasound scoring system called the PLUS (Pediatric Long-bone Ultrasound Score) score. The study will include pediatric patie...
