 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 7 High-frequency ultrasound value of rib fractures Of: Tang Eng, Yang Jianping, FORCES, Xi Wei [Abstract] High-frequency ultrasound for the diagnosis of a minor rib fracture dislocation of the value of a chest injury history, clinical manifestations and physical examination were suspected rib fracture in 243 patients underwent ultrasound examination at the same time-line X-ray examination. Results 207 patients were high-frequency Ultrasound found rib fractures, local soft tissue injury in 36 cases. fracture fragments dislocation 0. 5 ~ 5. 0mm, by X ray film have confirmed 53 cases of rib fractures. ultrasonography was 100%. high frequency ultrasound can check X ray film can not show a fracture line of a minor rib fracture dislocation can be used as diagnostic minor rib fracture dislocation of the primary screening method. [Keywords:] rib fractures, high-frequency ultrasound Chest trauma rib fractures are the most common injury, diagnosis is currently rely mainly on X-ray examination. Usually on the X-ray can show obvious rib fractures, but a slight dislocation of the rib fracture, rib cartilage fracture, “Panicum fracture, “fracture without dislocation or fracture of the middle rib overlapping ribs on both sides, are not easily found in the chest radiograph [1], the paper in February 2004 -2008 in February with a slight high-frequency ultrasound examination of rib fracture dislocation were analyzed. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 Clinical data Of February 2004 -2008 in February with chest trauma history, clinical manifestations and physical examination local tenderness was, to be diagnosed 243 cases of rib fracture patients by ultrasound and X ray chest film simultaneously, male 144 cases, female 99, aged 21 to 60 years, mean 38.4 years old. injury time to check the time from the shortest 0. 5h, up to 40d. 1.2 Instruments and methods Use SIEMENS SONOLINE Versa Plus ultrasound diagnostic apparatus and ACUSON ASPEN, li
