Sažetak
Background: In fibrous formation phase in bone fractures and during migration to osteoblastic activity blood flow around fracture site increases during callus formation. Methods: We have examined 25 patients with fractures of distal radius in typical place, and performed a recording with infrared thermographic camera on the 7th day after fracture, 21st day after fracture and after the treatment with conservative immobilization had finished. We used the other healthy hand as comparison. An X-ray examination was made on the same day for comparison with thermographic recording. Results: During our preliminary research statistically significant temperature changes have been recorded during different stages of callus formation. Conclusions: Increase in blood flow around the fracture is increasing the temperature of surrounding tissue which can then be detected with infrared thermographic camera. Statistically significant temperature changes have been found during this research.
