Orthopods and Hand surgeons...
I'm an occupational therapist in NY, looking for your insight on a question posed to me by one of my staff...
WHY is it that a carpal fracture wil not/might not show on a radiograph for up to four weeks? My gut response was that it has something to do with the poor vascularity of the carpal bones, but I can't make any sense of that gut feeling.
Any thoughts?
