How many X-rays?

Edit Post

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

Edit Post

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

Edit Post

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

internal or external?

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

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.
