Abstract
Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to establish the role of high resolution ultrasonography in the diagnosis of early scaphoid fracture in comparison of x-rays. Materials and Method: High Resolution Ultrasonography of Wrist joint was performed on 44 cases and E- CUBE ALPINION L3-12 MHz Probe USG Machine was used and the result was analysed. Results: A total of 44 participants with mean age of 31.73 years were studied. Out of 44 participants, five showed fracture, seven showed hematoma alone and eight patients showed hemarthrosis alone. Discussion: All 44 participants were clinically presumed scaphoid breeches but was not affirmed over starting roentgenograms, due to this prompting either by deferred analysis and management. However on HRUSG out of 44 participants only five were diagnosed with scaphoid fracture. So it prevented overtreatment of patients without fractures. Conclusion: There are few studies done in Indian population to diagnose early scaphoid fracture by using high resolution ultrasonography in comparison of X-rays. So this study can be used to make an early and accurate diagnosis and management of clinically suspected scaphoid fractures.
