Summary
This study tested whether ultrasound can accurately diagnose elbow fractures compared to standard X-rays. 90 adults with suspected elbow injuries were examined with both methods, and a CT scan confirmed the results. The goal is to see if ultrasound, which is faster and radiation-free, could become the first-choice tool in emergency rooms.
