Assessment of the dynamics of bone edema in fractures of long tubular bones in children in the process of osteoregeneration according to magnetic resonance imaging

Abstract

Children 6-10 years old very active, incautious, careless of danger this is a main care children’s traumatologist. Excessive shortcut immobilization extremity is not for all time correctly. After manual reposition and plaster immobilization MRI show wavy rise in intensity of the signal and reach the maximum values on the 20th day after the trauma with the continued its decrease. The exception is a group of children, the younger school age, who save high intensity signal during the 40-45-th days. MRI allows an estimate of the degree of expression of the trabecular edema, the development of granulation, and the development of the callus without X-ray.
