Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates how effective the Radiographic Union Score for Hip (RUSH) is in assessing healing in subtrochanteric fractures, as timely identification of healing impacts clinical decisions.
- The research analyzed X-ray films from 35 patients, with evaluations by six orthopedic trauma surgeons who scored the images using RUSH and then re-evaluated them after four weeks to assess consistency and agreement.
- Results showed a moderate agreement among surgeons using subjective impressions for healing status, but a significant improvement in consistency using the RUSH scoring system, indicating that RUSH is a valuable tool for assessing fracture healing.
