A member asked:
Can micro movements occur in a non displaced fx of the distal fib and not be detected by x-ray or ct scan and could micromovements cause delayed union?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The issue: Is whether the fracture is healing or not. Ct is usually very helpful in that regard. Please consult your doctor as to whether imaging of your fracture suggests nonunion, early fibrous union, or complete bony union.
