Practical aspects of using ultrasound examination of forearm fractures in children
Abstract
Ultrasound examination of bone injuries has recently become increasingly important. This is especially important in treatment of pediatric patients with injuries, because of peculiarity of) the physiology of a growing organism, the effect of ionizing radiation in X-ray diagnostics, can lead to undesirable health consequences. The purpose of our study is to describe the practical aspects of ultrasound examination of fracture forearm bones in children with fractures, as well as ultrasound control during closed manual reduction of fractures with displacement of fragments. We provide practical advice on probe placement, as well as features of assessing the ultrasound image of bone in health and with injuries, depending on the type of fracture and displacement of bone fragments.
