Use of medical infrared thermography in evaluation of bone healing process in pediatric clavicle fractures

Goal of our study was to perform termographic analysis of the temperature distribution on the skin overlying clavicle during different periods of fracture healing. Our results show significantly higher initial skin temperature over fracture gap that gradually decreased to normal (contralateral side) value in a period between 5-28 days depending on the site and type of fracture and patients age.
