Radiolucent implants offer theoretical advantages of increased ability to evaluate the fracture site for healing and recurrence and potentially less effect on radiation treatment, avoiding scatter. Their clinical utility and outcomes have yet to be proven in a well-designed randomized trial or large cohort study, although studies based on other indications have shown relative safety and they are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treatment of pathologic fractures. Further research is necessary to better understand when and how these implants should be implemented in practice. [Orthopedics. 2022;45(3):e115-e121.]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
