Is A Follow Up X-ray Required Ten Days Post Wrist Fracture?
Re: Wrist Fracture - inch back from end of Radius, straight across, almost no displacement. Q: should the patient be told to get a follow up X-ray within 5 (10?) day to ensure no movement out of alignment? Or is it acceptable medicine to be told to get X-ray at 4 weeks (with 1 week more to receive results)?
