Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry as a measure of healing in fractures treated by intramedullary nailing.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Fellowship-trained orthopaedic traumatologists are presumably taught skill sets leading to "best practice" outcomes and more efficient use of hospital resources. This should result in more favorable economic opportunities when compared with general orthopaedic surgeons (GOSs) providing similar clinical servi...
