Scaphoid non-union healed without a bone graft, percutaneous fixation only (pictures from before surgery -> union 3 months on). Thought I would post seeing as the majority of the scaphoid non-union posts involve bone grafting.

Scaphoid non-union healed without a bone graft, percutaneous fixation only (pictures from before surgery -> union 3 months on). Thought I would post seeing as the majority of the scaphoid non-union posts involve bone grafting.

Overall I'm very pleased with the outcome. Just posting to help raise awareness as it has been a very stressful, long journey. Whilst I do still have the original X-Ray images from the day I fractured it, they're on a disc so I doubt I can get the pictures up haha.

Context:

Fractured my scaphoid in a climbing accident, X-Ray missed the fracture, found out it was fractured 4 months later, doctor said we could get away with not doing a bone graft, ultimately it is virtually healed 3 months on from surgery.

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/
