| Recommendation/Comment |
The noninvasive estimated character of perfusion may estimate and characterize the healing process in the fracture gap and allow discrimination of pathological processes. |
| Clinical implication |
The perfusion character of the fracture gap may signalize some pathological healing processes. |
