Some abstacts are truncated for my purposes here, if they are particularly long-winded and unhelpful. ~ Paul Ingraham original abstract † Abstracts here may not perfectly match originals, for a variety of technical and practical reasons. I don’t suppose I ever thought it was a slam dunk diagnosis, just an easy and quirky clue generator. Neither technique was found to be accurate “it is recommended that radiological imaging should continue to be used” instead.įortunately (for the sake of the elegant quirkiness of the tuning fork idea), they aren’t saying that a tuning fork actually can’t work … just that’s it not reliable for confirmation, which kind of a “well, duh” conclusion. This analysis of studies since the 1950’s tried to determine if either ultrasound or tuning forks are actually useful in finding lower-limb stress fractures. Supposedly a humming tuning fork applied to a stress fracture will make it ache. This science attacks something I care deeply about: tuning fork diagnosis of stress fractures. Links to other papers and more general information are provided wherever possible. It is not a general article: it is focused on a single scientific paper, and it may provide only just enough context for the summary to make sense.
