Which method needs the most X-rays and which one the least?  Where is low radiological and/or ultrasonic exposure?

[mrblack]

so nobody knows any information about that ? 
maybe someone of the patients who already had a surgery please?

[JON SNOW]

most xrays  follow-up are frequently every 2 or 3 weeks

[mrblack]

internal or external?

[JON SNOW]

both methods,  and I did not worry about radiation exposure, the doses are low enough, In fact, maybe they give a net benefit (Radiation hormesis)

Last time i took x-rays they took like 10 photos. Isnt that quite alot at the same time? Im thinking of the radiation

[mrblack]

10 pics at ones? Holy sh   thats much. Of course radiation today ist not so high anymore but the risk increases with every xray a little bit more. And during limb lengthening, both femur and tibias it all adds up to a lot in quite short period

I had X-rays every 3 weeks .

Plain film x-rays are not a concern in terms of radiation. They amount to about a week's exposure of natural background radiation each, taking a few days off that, in certain cases.

CT scans are the ones that can amount to the equivalent of many years of background radiation exposure.
