“…The US value in the diagnosis of irregular bone fractures, especially in scaphoid, was previously discussed [8][9][10][11][12], with the conclusion that US might be valuable even in patients without changes in CR. At the same time, other studies showed that US can depict more fractures than CR [13][14][15] and should be considered an alternative for the more expensive and less available MRI and CT.…”

High resolution ultrasonography has already become an important tool in the diagnosis and management of inflammatory arthritis of the hand and wrist, but lately it has been proven to be the method of choice in the evaluation of traumatic lesions of tendons, annular pulleys, nerves, and ligaments and at the same time in detecting foreign bodies. The objective of this paper is to review and describe the current knowledge on these US findings and to highlight the ultrasonography role in the evaluation of non-inflammatory conditions of the hand and wrist.

In cases of traumatic wrist pain, emergency physicians must maintain a high index of suspicion for scaphoid fractures due to their potential for serious complications. A growing body of literature supports the use of point-of-care ultrasonography by emergency physicians in the evaluation of potential fractures. We report a case of a pediatric scaphoid fracture that was initially not visualized on x-ray and was subsequently detected using point-of-care ultrasound in the ED.

Die sonographischen Frakturzeichen werden dargestellt. Die typischen Anwendungsgebiete (Claviculafraktur, Akromioklavikulargelenk[AC]-Sprengung, proximale Humerusfraktur, Ellenbogenfraktur, Handgelenkfraktur, Mittelhandknochen-5[MHK-5]-Fraktur, Fibrocartilago palmaris, Femurwulstfraktur, proximale Tibiafraktur, Mittelfußknochen-V[MFK-V]-Fraktur, "toddler's fracture", Marschfraktur) werden behandelt und bekannte Diagnostikalgorithmen aufgeführt. Bei korrekter Anwendung ist die Fraktursonographie eine sichere, schonende und schnelle Diagnostikmethode.
