A member asked:
What if there is no callus formation on the complete fractured radius ulna? overlapping fractured seen in xray
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: May be too early to see callus, nonunion, etc. X-ray findings need to be correlated with history and physical exam, preferably by an orthopedic surgeon. There is no shortcut to this.
