“…The data supporting this is very good [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], with a meta-analysis recently confirming the safety of the method [23]. In comparison to X-ray diagnosis, the sensitivity of ultrasound examination is 94-96 %, and the specificity is 97-99 % [9,11]. The rate of false-negative findings for both methods was 1.3 % [13].…”

“…Up to the 12 th year of life, 90 % of distal forearm fractures could be diagnosed using ultrasound with no need for X-ray, and subsequently treated. There was an indication for follow-up X-ray imaging in only 10 % of cases [11,24]. Due to the great potential for correction, using ultrasound is very safe in these cases.…”

Fracture ultrasound has increasingly come into the focus of international research. A growing number of original articles and a meta-analysis show that wrist fractures can be diagnosed without X-ray in children up to 12 years. Further original publications state that elbow fractures can be ruled out by exclusion of intraarticular effusion and in proximal humerus fractures the number of X-rays is reduced by about 50 %, while the quality of diagnosis is improved. Screening for occult fractures is another good indication. Clavicle fractures, and ac-joint sprains can be diagnosed better with US than with X-rays. A number of research groups have contributed valuable research about the different indications. The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the basics and actual fields of application for fracture ultrasound of the extremities.

Objective To determine the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound imaging (USI) compared to the reference‐standard of MRI in the diagnosis of bone stress injury (BSI). Methods A prospective blinded cohort study was conducted. Thirty seven patients who presented to an academic sports medicine clinic from 2016 to 2020 with suspected lower‐extremity BSI on clinical exam underwent both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and USI. Participant characteristics were collected including age, gender and sport. Exclusion criteria included contraindication for dedicated MRI, traumatic fracture, or severe tendon or ligamentous injury. The primary outcome measure was BSI diagnosis by USI. An 8‐point assessment system was utilized on USI for diagnosis of BSI, and the Fredericson and Nattiv22 criteria were applied to classify MRI findings. Results Thirty seven participants who met study criteria were consented to participate. All participants completed baseline measures. Using MRI, there were 30 (81%) athletes with a positive and seven participants with a negative BSI diagnosis. The most common BSIs in the study were in the metatarsal (54%) and tibia (32%). Compared to MRI, USI demonstrated 0.80 sensitivity (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61–0.92) and 0.71 specificity (95% CI, 0.29–0.96) in detecting BSI, with a positive predictive value of 0.92 (95% CI, 0.75–0.99) and negative predictive value of 0.45 (95% CI, 0.17–0.77). Conclusions USI is a potentially useful point‐of‐care tool for practicing sports medicine providers to combine with their clinical evaluation in the diagnosis of BSIs. Further research is ongoing to determine the role of USI in follow‐up care and return‐to‐play protocols.
