  • Title: Ultrasonography of fractures in sports medicine.
    Author: Hoffman DF, Adams E, Bianchi S.
    Journal: Br J Sports Med; 2015 Feb; 49(3):152-60. PubMed ID: 25540189.
    Abstract:
    High-resolution ultrasound is emerging as an important imaging modality in fracture assessment due to its availability, ease of use and multiplanar capabilities. Its usefulness includes injury assessment for the presence of a fracture when obtaining radiographs is not immediately available, detecting occult fractures not revealed on radiographs, and diagnosing bone stress injury before radiographic changes. Sonographic evaluation of bone, however, has limitations and should always be coupled with radiographs and possibly advanced imaging modalities such as CT and MR when clinically indicated.
