Resource Utilization and the Use of Bone Stimulators among Operatively and Nonoperatively Managed Scaphoid Nonunion Patients [PDF]
Background:. The prevalence of bone stimulator use among nonoperatively and operatively managed scaphoid nonunion patients is unknown. We hypothesize that bone stimulators are a relatively underutilized treatment for scaphoid nonunion patients. Methods:.
