amkie, usually they image the wrist or ankle, forearm of hip. Bone Scintigraphy, CT or MRI can assess union or nonunion of the implant. The hip measurement should be accurate.

@gently I just had a scan done and bc i had never had one and bc the procedure wasnt being explained, I was a little weirded out that they wanted to scan my forearm! (But after a little searching online I NOW know the answer/s to my questions!)
The person administering tests doesn't really have to explain procedures, nor answer patients' queries. Just my 2 cents!
