Comments: In the U.S. most, if not all, clinics use electron beams while in Europe x-rays are more popular. This may have historic reasons, we are not aware of major benefits or drawbacks of either method (the equipment for electron beams being more expensive).
For insurance coverage please check with your carrier. We understand that the ICD9 Diagnosis code is 728.6 - benign condition contracture.
