Ultrasound imaging is widely used to evaluate the neuromusculoskeletal system, and
recently, a particular interest is mounting in assessing the bone tissue and fractures …

Stress reactions and stress fractures in the lower extremities occur frequently in military and
athletic populations. As the clinical symptoms of stress fracture may mimic other less severe …

Objectives The aim of this study was to review the current evidence and future application for
the role of diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound in fracture management. Methods A review …

Fracture nonunion causes considerable patient morbidity and an associated burden to
society. Traditional reliance on radiographs to monitor union has limitations as bridging …

Based on published reports, we presumed radiographs would be unreliable as a sole
measure of fracture healing. To confirm this presumption we correlated radiographic fracture …

Objective Ultrasound imaging can be used to monitor bone healing after fracture. It has the
advantages of simplicity, rapidity, non-radiation, and real-time dynamic observation of …

This study determined the efficacy of high-resolution ultrasound and color power Doppler as
a monitoring tool in the healing of periapical lesions. Five patients with a periapical lesion in …

Imaging of a healing fracture provides a non-invasive and often instructive reproduction of
the fracture repair progress and the healing status of bone. However, the interpretation of …

Bone stress injuries are common in military personnel and athletes. The delayed diagnosis
of a bone stress injury can lead to a more severe injury that requires a longer period of …

Stress fractures are common injuries frequently overlooked on first radiographs, especially
in the early course. The gold standard for accurate diagnosis is MRI and scintigraphy. We …
