Abstract

The diagnosis of a bony fracture by the use of ultrasound is not common. However, with the advantage of the use of a real time examination and recent technical advances, the use of ultrasound has gradually been on the increase. In this pictorial review, we demonstrate the sonographic findings of various kinds of bony fractures where an ultrasound examination was effective in the diagnosis of a fracture. The use of ultrasound is compared with the use of other imaging modalities.
