Ultrasound - An imaging tool for mandibular fracture
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Mandible is one of the most commonly fractured bone in facial skeleton. Diagnosis can be confirmed with various imaging techniques. Use of ultrasonography in imaging facial fractures is not yet established. We assessed the efficiency of ultrasound in screening mandibular fracture in 17 patients. USG showed 100 % sensitivity in locating fracture lines.
