Summary
This study looks at whether adding ultrasound to CT scans can find more cartilage fractures in the ribs of people with chest injuries. Researchers will follow 100 patients for a year to see if finding these fractures changes treatment, such as whether surgery is needed. They will also check how the fractures heal and affect pain, breathing, and quality of life.
