th weeks, from the initial day of scoring, without revealing patients identity or fracture duration. Finally to check reliability RUST score, Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was measured. Results: Overall agreement statistically significant. The test-retest significant, having value 0.87, 0.95, 0.94, 0.98 and 0.97 respectively at each follow-up. overall inter as well intra-observer score collectively significant Conclusions: shows substantial improvements in produces reproducible results, either scored by an orthopaed ican a radiologist.
