Musculoskeletal - Metacarpal Fracture
Caption
Fractures can easily be diagnosed with POCUS especially in resource limited settings. Just remember... this could be painful so use A LOT of gel and try not to press hard or at all. Gently move the probe along the axis of the bones where you suspect a fracture. The deepest and most hyperechoic horizontal line is the cortex and discontinuity in the lines represent fracture. Angulation and displacement can be measured. Two planes should be measured. Sukh Singh, MD, Caption: Matthew Riscinti, MD
