Dear  all
I would appreciate the opinion of the members on the CT  confirmation  
of a healed ruptured spleen. The CT scan is of a 20  year old male  
injured in a MVC - initial CT showing a splenic injury  managed  
conservatively and another 6 months later showing a ?  fibrous band  
joining the 2 fragments.

Is this sufficient  evidence to allow him to go back to contact sports?  
Or is the band  expected to narrow even further in the future?

Thanks very  much

Allen

no it is not evidence predictive of anything. 

Looks healed though. I would manage as if this were healed even if there  
were no scan
