“…Soft tissue "entrapped" in the fracture line can be visualized prior to open reduction [10]. Callus formation can be visualized prior to X-ray examinations [4,5]. No high-current conductor is required (X-ray diagnosis) in the operating theatre.…”

The aim of this study was to analyse the applications and limitations of B-scan ultrasonography for diagnosing fractures of the mandibular condyle and ramus. Thirty-two patients with 39 radiologically proven fractures of the mandibular condyle and ramus were included in the study. The patients were examined with a 7.5 MHz small-part applicator. Five patients without fractures of the facial skeleton acted as controls. Normal sonoanatomical findings had been obtained for patients without mandibular fractures. B-scan ultrasonography enabled the experienced examiner to identify dislocated fractures of the mandibular ramus and the articular process in 67% of the fractures. The main disadvantage of ultrasonography was the inability of this technique to identify non-dislocated fractures. Because of its low sensitivity and specificity, B-scan ultrasonography does not provide an alternative to X-ray diagnosis of mandibular condyle and ramus fractures.

“…Nevertheless, B‐scan sonography showed the initial evolution of the osteogenetic process, which started from the lingual periosteum toward the vestibular side, and the new cortical bone at the end of the stabilisation period. It was then possible to obtain information about the quality and the quantity of the new bone formation (Friedrich et al 1997; Kojmoto et al 1998; Juenger et al 1999).…”
